Fortress Dyke camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises an enclosed settlement defended by substantial earthwork dykes, characteristic of Iron Age fortification practices in northern Britain. Its elevated position would have afforded strategic control of the surrounding landscape and pastoral resources. The monument represents an important example of the defensive settlement hierarchy that developed during the later prehistoric period in the region.
