Camp in East Kidland Wood is an Iron Age hillfort located in Devon, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, typical of defensive settlements from the later prehistoric period. Its precise date within the Iron Age remains uncertain, though such fortified sites were commonly constructed and occupied during the first millennium BC. The site's relatively modest earthwork defences suggest it may have served as a local settlement and refuge rather than a major regional stronghold.
