Danbury Camp is a hillfort situated near Danbury in Essex, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by substantial defensive earthworks, consisting of multiple ditches and banks that enclose an area of approximately twelve acres. Archaeological investigation and finds recovered from the site indicate occupation during the later Iron Age, particularly in the period preceding the Roman conquest of Britain. The camp represents an important example of Essex's Iron Age settlement hierarchy and demonstrates the defensive strategies employed by British communities during the final centuries before Roman military intervention in the region.
