Castle Hill camp is a Neolithic or Bronze Age earthwork located in Derbyshire. The site comprises an enclosed area defined by banks and ditches characteristic of prehistoric defensive or ceremonial enclosures of the second or third millennium before the Common Era. Its exact dating and primary function remain subjects of archaeological inquiry, though the scale and construction of its earthworks indicate a significant prehistoric settlement or gathering place. The monument survives as an important example of early fortified settlement in the East Midlands region.
