Curdon Wood camp is a hillfort located in Somerset, England. The site consists of a univallate enclosure defined by a single defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts in the region. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents a significant example of prehistoric fortified settlement in Somerset. The camp's earthwork defences remain visible in the landscape, though like many such sites, the original height and condition of the banks have been subject to erosion and modification over the intervening centuries.
