Golden Camp is a univallate hillfort situated in Cornwall, England. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately circular or oval interior, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the southwest peninsula. The earthwork survives as a substantial upstanding monument, though like many Cornish hillforts it has experienced considerable degradation from agricultural activity and land use over the centuries. Golden Camp represents the Iron Age settlement hierarchy of the region, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited in the published record.
