Camp in Mistlebury Wood is a prehistoric earthwork located in Dorset. The site consists of a univallate hillfort with a single defensive rampart and ditch, situated within woodland that now obscures much of its topography. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents a typical example of the fortified settlements that characterised this period in southern Britain. The earthwork has been subject to degradation through woodland management and natural processes, though the fundamental structure of its defences remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in Dorset.
