Kinver camp is a univallate hillfort located in Staffordshire, England, situated on high ground overlooking the Stour valley. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing approximately two hectares, a layout typical of Iron Age hillforts in the Midlands region. Archaeological evidence and comparative analysis suggest the site was likely constructed and occupied during the later Iron Age, probably within the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. The hillfort's strategic location and modest but effective fortifications indicate its function as a defended settlement and territorial marker for the local Iron Age community.
