Dinedor Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort situated near the village of Dinedor in Herefordshire, commanding views across the River Wye valley. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an oval or subcircular enclosure, characteristic of later prehistoric fortified settlements in the Welsh Marches region. Occupation and use of the site is attributed to the Iron Age period, though the precise chronology and duration of settlement remain subjects for archaeological investigation. The hillfort represents an important example of the defensive and territorial strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the borderland between Wales and England.
