Kinver camp is a univallate hillfort located near Kinver in Staffordshire, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular hilltop position, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Midlands region. The site demonstrates the strategic use of natural topography combined with constructed earthworks, characteristic of univallate forts that were prevalent during the later Iron Age, though precise dating for this particular example remains uncertain without extensive archaeological investigation. Its survival as an earthwork monument provides evidence of the settlement and defensive practices of Iron Age communities in the West Midlands.
