Halwell Camp is a hillfort situated in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a hilltop enclosure defined by substantial earthwork defences, alongside two bowl barrows that occupy the same landscape feature. The bowl barrows represent earlier Bronze Age burial activity on the site, indicating long-term use of this prominent location across different prehistoric periods. The combination of Iron Age fortification with Bronze Age funerary monuments reflects the palimpsest of settlement and ceremonial activity characteristic of Devon's later prehistory.
