Overview

History & significance

Radnor Wood Camp is a Iron Age hillfort located in Shropshire, England. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences consisting of a single or multiple ramparts with associated ditches, characteristic of fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. The camp occupies a commanding position on high ground, from which it would have controlled the surrounding landscape and communication routes. Such hillforts typically functioned as centres of settlement, defence, and administrative authority within Iron Age communities, though the precise chronology and duration of occupation at Radnor Wood Camp remain subjects of archaeological study.
