Danesfield Camp is a large multivallate hillfort situated in Buckinghamshire, England, dating to the Iron Age period. The site is defined by multiple concentric earthwork banks and ditches that form its defensive perimeter, characteristic of later prehistoric hillforts of considerable status and strategic importance. Located on elevated terrain, the fort would have commanded significant views across the surrounding landscape, making it well-suited for both defensive purposes and territorial control during the Iron Age. The complexity of its fortification system, evidenced by its multiple ramparts, indicates a settlement of considerable regional significance during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
