Ring Hill camp is a prehistoric hillfort located in Essex, England, situated in the parish of Thaxted. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork defined by a single bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive settlements in the region. Dating to the Iron Age period, the site represents one of Essex's lesser-known but significant examples of prehistoric fortified enclosures, reflecting the pattern of settlement and territorial organisation in south-eastern Britain during the later prehistoric period.
