Poundbury Camp is a late Iron Age hillfort situated near Dorchester in Dorset, England, constructed during the first century BC. The fortification comprises a single substantial rampart with external ditch, enclosing an area of approximately eight acres on a naturally elevated position. The site demonstrates characteristic Iron Age defensive design and was likely occupied until the Roman conquest of Britain in the first century AD. Associated Roman features, including sections of an aqueduct system, indicate continued utilisation and infrastructure development following the establishment of Roman control in the region.
