Halwell Camp is a hillfort situated in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a substantial enclosed settlement defended by multiple ramparts and ditches that follow the contours of the hilltop, representing a characteristic example of Devon's Iron Age fortified settlements. Two bowl barrows are associated with the site, indicating earlier Bronze Age activity in the locality and suggesting continuity of ritual or ceremonial use across different periods. The hillfort itself served as a defended settlement and likely functioned as a centre of local authority and economic activity during the Iron Age period.
