Herefordshire Beacon Camp is an Iron Age hillfort located on Herefordshire Beacon in the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire. The site is defined by substantial earthworks comprising a single rampart with an external ditch, enclosing an area of approximately seven acres on the summit and slopes of the hill. Archaeological evidence and typological analysis suggest occupation during the Iron Age, likely within the later prehistoric period, though the precise chronology of construction and use remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The hillfort's commanding position within the Malvern ridge made it strategically significant for the control of the surrounding landscape and communication routes during its period of active use.
