Ringsbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Aldbourne in Wiltshire, England. The site is defined by multiple concentric defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular polygonal area, typical of later Iron Age fortified settlements in southern Britain. Archaeological evidence suggests occupation and use during the Iron Age period, though the precise chronology of construction and abandonment remains subject to ongoing scholarly investigation. The monument represents an important example of prehistoric defensive architecture within the chalk downlands of Wiltshire and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and territorial organisation in Iron Age Wessex.
