Knollbury Camp is a hillfort located in Oxfordshire, England. The site comprises a defended enclosure positioned on elevated terrain, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in the English Midlands. The earthwork defences consist of a bank and ditch arrangement typical of Iron Age construction techniques, with the interior space suggesting occupation and settlement use during the prehistoric period. Like many hillforts of the region, Knollbury Camp represents the settlement patterns and territorial organisation of Iron Age communities, though detailed archaeological investigation and chronological refinement of the site's occupation phases remain limited in the published scholarly record.
