Overview

History & significance

War Coppice Camp is a large multivallate hillfort located in Surrey, England. The monument is defined by multiple concentric defensive earthworks consisting of banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop position, a characteristic feature of Iron Age fortified settlements in southern Britain. The site dates to the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as centres of settlement, refuge, and territorial control for local populations. The survival of War Coppice Camp's substantial earthen defences provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding the military architecture and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the wider region.
