Callow Hill Camp is a small multivallate hillfort located in Shropshire, England. The site is defended by multiple concentric banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hill fortifications in the Welsh Marches region. Its precise dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation, though such earthwork defences are typically associated with the Iron Age period, spanning the later prehistoric era before Roman occupation. The monument survives as an important example of defensive settlement strategy during this period, though detailed excavation records for the site are limited in the published archaeological literature.
