Caesar's Camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Aldershot in Berkshire, England. The fort consists of concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose an area of approximately four hectares, representing a substantial settlement of the later Iron Age period. Later occupation by Napoleonic forces resulted in the construction of a redoubt within the hillfort, evidence of its strategic topographical position that remained militarily significant into the early nineteenth century. The monument survives as an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in southern England, with both prehistoric and Napoleonic-era phases of construction visible in its earthwork remains.
