Cholesbury Camp is a large multivallate hillfort situated near the village of Cholesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. The site is defined by multiple concentric banks and ditches that enclose an extensive interior, characteristic of Iron Age defensive architecture, likely dating to the later Iron Age period. The hillfort commands views across the surrounding landscape and would have served as a significant settlement and refuge for the local population during the Iron Age, reflecting the strategic importance of elevated positions in this region during the pre-Roman period. The monument remains a prominent landscape feature and an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in south-eastern England.
