Ogbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort situated near the village of Ogbourne St George in Wiltshire. The site comprises multiple concentric defensive earthworks which enclose an oval hilltop position, characteristic of the developed hillfort tradition of the later Iron Age. The monument's defensive architecture, comprising banks and ditches, reflects the settlement and territorial control strategies employed during the Iron Age period in central southern Britain. The site remains substantially intact and survives as an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and defensive practice in Wiltshire.
