Dudsbury Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Wimborne in Dorset, England. The site comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing approximately 3.25 hectares of level ground on a chalk plateau, strategically positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. Dating to the Iron Age, the fort represents a typical example of the fortified settlements that emerged across southern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The monument remains substantially visible today, with its earthwork defences largely intact despite agricultural use of the interior in subsequent centuries.
