Little Coxwell camp is a Iron Age hillfort located in Berkshire, England. The site is defined by its defensive earthworks, which comprise a single rampart and ditch forming an irregular enclosure typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region. Occupation and use of the site likely dates to the later Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as centres for trade, habitation, and defence across southern Britain. The monument remains a significant archaeological record of Iron Age settlement dynamics in the Thames Valley area.
