Cholesbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located in Buckinghamshire, situated on high ground near the village of Cholesbury. The monument is defined by multiple concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular area of approximately 5.6 hectares, representing a substantial defensive settlement of the later Iron Age period. The hillfort likely served as a territorial centre and place of refuge during the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain, though occupation and use patterns across its phases remain subjects of ongoing archaeological investigation. Its survival as a landscape feature, despite later disturbance and agricultural use, makes it a significant example of Iron Age fortification in the Chiltern region.
