Denbury camp is a univallate hillfort located near the village of Denbury in Devon. The site is defined by a single defensive ditch and bank enclosing an oval area on elevated ground, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed in the southwest of England. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, likely constructed sometime during the later prehistoric era when such fortified settlements served as territorial centres and places of refuge for surrounding communities. The earthworks remain substantially visible today despite the passage of nearly two millennia, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in Devon.
