Norbury is a slight univallate hillfort located immediately east of Padbury Mill in Buckinghamshire. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts, though the earthwork remains modest in its physical expression. The monument occupies a position within the wider landscape of prehistoric fortifications in the region, reflecting patterns of settlement and defensive organisation during the later prehistoric period. As a scheduled ancient monument, Norbury represents an important record of Iron Age activity in Buckinghamshire, though its exact chronology and functional details remain subjects for further archaeological investigation.
