Idbury Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Idbury in Oxfordshire, England. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular polygonal area of approximately two hectares, positioned on a natural ridge that provides commanding views across the surrounding landscape. Archaeological evidence and typological analysis suggest occupation during the later Iron Age, consistent with the broader pattern of hillfort construction and use in the region during the late pre-Roman period. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important example of Iron Age defensive settlement in the Cotswolds.
