Fosbury Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Wiltshire, England. The monument consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch system, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in southern Britain. It occupies a commanding position on high ground, typical of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. The site represents the strategic and communal organization of Iron Age communities in the region, though limited archaeological investigation has constrained detailed understanding of its specific occupation sequence and function within the broader settlement hierarchy of Wiltshire.
