Camp on Bozedown is a bivallate hillfort situated on high ground near Wallingford in Oxfordshire. The monument comprises two concentric defensive circuits of banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in southern England, and is likely to date from the later Iron Age period, between approximately the fourth and first centuries BC. The site occupies a commanding position over the surrounding landscape, typical of hillforts that served defensive, administrative, or ceremonial functions for prehistoric communities. The earthwork remains are substantially preserved and constitute an important archaeological resource for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive architecture in the Thames valley region.
