Corley camp is a univallate hillfort situated in Warwickshire, England. The monument is defined by a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular plan, characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Midlands region. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified enclosures served as centres of settlement, storage, and territorial control across Britain. Its univallate design, comprising one main defensive bank and ditch system, represents a common form of hillfort construction among communities of this era.
