Chisbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort situated near the village of Chisbury in Wiltshire, demonstrating the defensive architecture typical of the pre-Roman British period. The site comprises concentric earthwork ramparts and ditches that enclose an oval interior, representing a settlement and stronghold of considerable strategic importance during the late Iron Age. Within the hillfort stands St Martin's Chapel, a small medieval structure whose exact date of construction remains uncertain, though it represents a later ecclesiastical use of this prominent topographical feature. The monument exemplifies the long continuity of settlement and significance at naturally defensible locations across successive historical periods.
