Chastleton Barrow camp is a hillfort situated south of Barrow House in Oxfordshire. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork defence system consisting of multiple ramparts and ditches that enclose the hilltop position, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the region. The site dates to the Iron Age period, when such enclosed hillforts served as centres of settlement, refuge, and territorial control across southern Britain. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the modern landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric defensive architecture and settlement strategy in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.
