Dinedor Camp is a Iron Age hillfort situated on elevated terrain near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire. The monument is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising a single rampart with an external ditch, enclosing an irregular polygonal area atop the hill. Dating to the Iron Age, likely the later prehistoric period, the site represents a significant example of fortified settlement from this era in the Welsh Marches region. The hillfort's strategic position and defensive architecture suggest it served as a centre of local authority and refuge during the Iron Age, though archaeological investigation has been limited and much of its detailed chronology and occupation history remains incompletely understood.
