Ratby Camp is an Iron Age hillfort located in Leicestershire. The site comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a substantial univallate rampart and external ditch, characteristic of later prehistoric fortification design. It occupies a commanding position on high ground, typical of hillforts constructed during the later Iron Age period, roughly between the 4th and 1st centuries BC. The monument survives as an earthwork and represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and defensive architecture in the Midlands region.
