Ethelbert's Camp is a hillfort located in Herefordshire, England. The site represents an Iron Age fortification, characterised by defensive earthworks consisting of ramparts and ditches typical of such prehistoric settlements. The monument takes its name from a medieval tradition, though the fortification itself predates the historical period by many centuries. Like other hillforts of the region, Ethelbert's Camp would have served defensive and administrative functions for the Iron Age communities that constructed and occupied it.
