Norton Camp is a large multivallate hillfort located in Shropshire, England. The monument comprises multiple concentric defensive ramparts and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. Its scale and engineering suggest it served as a significant defensive and possibly administrative centre during the Iron Age, though the precise dating and phases of construction remain subjects of archaeological investigation. The site's prominent earthworks remain largely visible today, preserving evidence of prehistoric settlement and fortification practices in the English Midlands.
