Chiselbury Camp is a late Iron Age hillfort situated near Tisbury in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a substantial univallate enclosure defended by a single bank and ditch, positioned on elevated ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The hillfort is intersected by a series of cross dykes, earthwork features whose chronological relationship to the main fort remains uncertain but which may represent earlier or contemporary defensive works. The site later saw use during the post-medieval period with the construction of a turnpike toll house within or near the fort boundaries, reflecting the location's continued strategic importance on communication routes through the Wiltshire countryside.
