Loughton Camp is a univallate hillfort situated in Essex, England, representing Iron Age defensive settlement and land management practices. The monument comprises a single bank and ditch system enclosing an irregular area on elevated ground, typical of such fortifications constructed during the later prehistoric period. The slight survival of the earthworks reflects both the original modest scale of construction and the effects of subsequent land use and erosion over two millennia. Such hillforts served variously as defended settlements, territorial markers, or seasonal gathering places for Iron Age communities in south-eastern Britain.
