Caesar's Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated near Aldershot in Berkshire, England, whose defensive earthworks comprise a single bank and ditch enclosing approximately three hectares. The fort's origins lie in the Iron Age, though the precise dating of its construction remains uncertain within that period. The site was subsequently adapted during the Napoleonic Wars, when a redoubt was constructed within or adjacent to the hillfort to serve as part of Britain's coastal defence preparations against French invasion. The survival of both Iron Age and Napoleonic-period features on the same location makes Caesar's Camp an archaeological palimpsest reflecting over two millennia of military occupation and defensive strategy.
