Caesar's Camp is a Late Iron Age hillfort situated on Wimbledon Common in Surrey, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular earthwork with a substantial bank and ditch, enclosing an area of approximately 1.6 hectares, and represents a defended settlement dating to the period between the second and first centuries before the common era. The site's popular name, derived from local tradition attributing it to Julius Caesar's campaigns in Britain, is unsupported by archaeological evidence. The hillfort would have served as a focal point for settlement and possibly trade in the Late Iron Age landscape of south-eastern Britain prior to the Roman conquest.
