Camp 600yds (548m) E of Charterhouse is an Iron Age hillfort located in Somerset, England, situated to the east of Charterhouse village. The monument represents defensive settlement activity characteristic of the later prehistoric period in the region. The site occupies a prominent topographical position typical of Iron Age fort construction, with earthwork defences that would have served both practical and territorial functions for its inhabitants. Like many hillforts of this period across southern England, it reflects the settlement patterns and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the centuries immediately preceding the Roman conquest.
