Careby Wood camp is a prehistoric earthwork located in Lincolnshire. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns. Its exact chronology and functional purpose remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though the defensive or territorial character suggested by its earthwork configuration places it within the broader Iron Age settlement hierarchy of the East Midlands region. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important record of prehistoric land use and social organisation in Lincolnshire.
