Oldbury Camp is a univallate hillfort situated in Warwickshire, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of approximately 3.5 hectares on rising ground. Dating to the Iron Age, likely within the later prehistoric period, the hillfort represents a form of settlement and defensive structure characteristic of the first millennium BC in the English Midlands. The site's single line of fortification distinguishes it from the more heavily defended multivallate hillforts found elsewhere in Britain, suggesting its role within the local settlement hierarchy of its time.
