Overview

History & significance

Hascombe Camp is a small multivallate hillfort located northwest of Lodge Farm near Hascombe in Surrey, England. The site consists of multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches that encircle its summit, characteristic of Iron Age fortification design, and likely dates to the later Iron Age period. The camp occupies a commanding position on the Greensand ridge, typical of hillfort placement strategies employed during this era. Its modest size and construction suggest it may have served as a local defensive and administrative centre for the surrounding community during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
