Lower Park Wood Camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Herefordshire. The site comprises a univallate enclosure, defended by a single bank and ditch system, which is characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in the Welsh Marches region. The monument occupies a commanding position that would have provided both defensive advantages and control over the surrounding landscape during its period of use. As a hillfort, it represents an important form of settlement and territorial marker typical of later prehistory in the Welsh borderlands.
