Dumpdon Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Axminster in Devon. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an oval or roughly circular area on high ground, typical of the hillfort tradition of the later Iron Age in south-western England. The site's earthworks remain substantially visible in the modern landscape, though their preservation has been affected by agricultural activity and erosion over the intervening centuries. As a hillfort of this period, Dumpdon Camp represents the settlement and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in Devon, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited.
