Denbury Camp is a univallate hillfort located near Denbury in Devon, England. The site comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular polygonal area on elevated terrain, typical of Iron Age defensive settlements in the South West. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents a significant example of prehistoric fortified settlement in Devon, reflecting the territorial and defensive strategies of late prehistoric communities in the region. The earthworks remain substantially preserved and are recorded on the National Heritage List for England as a scheduled ancient monument.
