Caynham Camp is a univallate hillfort located approximately 700 metres north-west of Caynham in Shropshire. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular polygonal area, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the region. The site dates to the Iron Age period, representing a form of fortified settlement typical of prehistoric Britain during the first millennium BC. Such hillforts served defensive and administrative functions within their local communities and remain significant archaeological indicators of Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the West Midlands.
