Dixton Hill camp is a hillfort located near Monmouth in Gloucestershire, situated on high ground commanding views of the surrounding landscape. The monument dates to the Iron Age and is defined by defensive earthwork characteristics typical of this period, including banks and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a settlement area. The site represents an important example of Iron Age settlement strategy in the Welsh Marches region, reflecting patterns of fortified occupation common during the late prehistoric period. Its elevated position and fortified design indicate its role as both a defensive stronghold and a focal point for the community it served.
