Bulbury Camp is a Iron Age hillfort located in Dorset, England, situated on elevated terrain that commands views across the surrounding landscape. The fort is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular polygonal enclosure, characteristic of hillfort construction in southern Britain during the Iron Age period. Its strategic position and defensive architecture reflect the settlement patterns and territorial considerations of Iron Age communities in Dorset, forming part of the broader network of hillforts that dominated the region during the late pre-Roman Iron Age. The site represents an important archaeological resource for understanding the political organisation and settlement hierarchy of Iron Age Dorset.
