Knoll Camp is a hillfort situated near Damerham in Wiltshire, England, which represents a significant prehistoric defensive settlement. The site comprises an Iron Age hillfort accompanied by associated earthworks including a cross dyke, linear earthwork, and hollow ways that form part of the wider settlement pattern. The hillfort's ramparts and internal features reflect the typical Iron Age approach to hilltop fortification, commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The ancillary earthworks suggest a more complex settlement organisation than the hillfort alone, indicating routes of communication and possible demarcation of land use within and around the fortified area.
