Camp at Nine Yews is a prehistoric earthwork situated in Dorset. The site comprises a small enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age defensive or domestic settlements found throughout southern Britain. Its precise dating and functional purpose remain subjects of archaeological study, though the earthwork's morphology is consistent with Iron Age occupation phases spanning the first millennium BCE. The monument survives as an important example of the landscape archaeology of central Dorset and contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement patterns in the region.
