East Witton camp is a univallate hillfort located in North Yorkshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately circular or oval area, characteristic of smaller hillforts of northern Britain. The earthwork survives as a cropmark and earthwork feature in the landscape, though its ramparts have been subject to degradation over the centuries. Such univallate hillforts served defensive and possibly ceremonial functions during the later prehistoric period, representing Iron Age settlement and territorial organisation in the region.
