Overview

History & significance

Little Coxwell camp is an Iron Age hillfort located in Berkshire, England. The monument comprises an oval enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, positioned to exploit the natural topography of the landscape. Dating to the Iron Age period, the camp represents one of many such fortified settlements established across southern Britain during the centuries preceding the Roman conquest. The site's relatively modest defensive works suggest it may have served primarily as a place of refuge and territorial marker rather than as a major fortified centre.
