Lowbury Hill camp is a univallate hillfort located near Compton in Berkshire, situated at approximately 290 metres above ordnance datum on the chalk downland of the Berkshire Downs. The earthwork comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular polygonal area of roughly two hectares, with entrances on the north and south sides. Dating evidence and archaeological investigation suggest occupation during the Iron Age, though the precise chronology and duration of use remain subjects of scholarly examination. The site represents a characteristic example of the smaller hillforts distributed across the chalk uplands of southern England during the later prehistoric period.
