Milber Down camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Devon, England. The site is situated on elevated terrain and represents settlement activity from the Iron Age period, when such fortified enclosures served defensive and administrative functions across the southwest of Britain. The camp is defined by surviving earthwork features including ramparts and ditches that originally enclosed the settlement area. Like many hillforts of its type and period, Milber Down would have housed a settled community and may have served as a focal point for regional authority and trade during the Iron Age.
