Dean Camp is a hillfort located in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, which dates to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial rampart and ditch system, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in the region. Its location within the Forest of Dean suggests it may have served as a territorial stronghold or refuge settlement during the later prehistoric period. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches and Forest of Dean landscape.
