Bulbury Camp is a hillfort located in Dorset, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single vallum and ditch system that encloses an irregular polygonal area on elevated ground. The site represents a significant example of Iron Age fortified settlement in the region, typical of the defensive and administrative centres established across southern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The earthworks remain visible as prominent topographical features, preserving evidence of the settlement patterns and land use strategies characteristic of Iron Age communities in Dorset.
