Dry Hill Camp is a multivallate hillfort situated in Surrey, comprising multiple defensive earthwork banks and ditches that encircle the summit. The site represents Iron Age fortification practice, typical of the prehistoric defensive settlements constructed across southern Britain during the later prehistoric period. The earthworks remain substantially visible in the landscape, demonstrating the engineering and labour investment characteristic of such high-status fortified settlements. The hillfort's strategic positioning reflects the settlement hierarchy and territorial control patterns evident across Iron Age Sussex and the South East.
