Oldox camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Nottinghamshire. The monument consists of an oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive structures in the Midlands region. The site occupies a commanding position on high ground, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age period, though precise dating remains uncertain without extensive excavation. Such hillforts served defensive, administrative, and possibly ceremonial functions within their local communities during the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain.
