History & significance

Corley camp is a univallate hillfort located in Warwickshire, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosure, a characteristic feature of Iron Age hillforts in the Midlands region. The site occupies a strategically positioned location that would have commanded views across the surrounding landscape, typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. As a univallate example, Corley camp represents the simpler form of hillfort construction, distinguishing it from the more elaborate multivallate fortifications found elsewhere in the region.
