Camp in Smay's Wood is a univallate hillfort situated in Devon. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an approximately circular or oval interior, typical of Iron Age hillforts in the Southwest peninsula. The site's earthwork defences remain substantially visible in the landscape, though detailed chronological evidence specific to this particular fort is limited within the published archaeological record. Like comparable hillforts across Devon, it likely dates to the Iron Age period and would have served defensive and possibly administrative functions for Iron Age communities in the region.
