Capler Camp is a bivallate Iron Age hillfort situated in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of two concentric defensive banks with intervening ditches, enclosing an area of approximately 3.7 hectares on high ground overlooking the River Wye valley. The fort dates to the Iron Age period, likely constructed sometime between the sixth and first centuries before Christ, representing a significant defensive settlement of the pre-Roman period. Its strategic location and substantial earthwork construction indicate it served as an important territorial stronghold during the later prehistoric period in the Welsh Marches.
