Careby Wood camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Lincolnshire. The monument is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single rampart and ditch that enclose an irregular polygonal area, reflecting the typical defensive architecture of Iron Age fortified settlements in the East Midlands region. The site's positioning and constructional style are consistent with other contemporary hillforts of the later prehistoric period, though detailed archaeological investigation remains limited. The camp represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in the wider landscape of central England.
