Hanging Langford Camp is a hillfort situated in Wiltshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial defensive bank and ditch system, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. Church-end Ring, the alternative designation for this monument, reflects its proximity to the parish church at Langford and represents one of several comparable fortified sites in the Wiltshire downlands. The camp would have served as a defensive stronghold and administrative centre for an Iron Age community, though its precise chronology and period of occupation remain subjects of ongoing archaeological study.
