Whitehouse Camp is a ringwork and bailey fortification located approximately 200 metres north of Trelan Farm in Herefordshire. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork comprising an outer defensive bank and ditch with an associated bailey, typical of medieval military architecture employed during the post-Conquest period. Though the precise date of construction remains uncertain, ringworks of this form were commonly established in the eleventh and twelfth centuries as relatively modest fortified settlements, serving both defensive and administrative functions across the Welsh border regions. The earthwork survives as a landscape feature demonstrating the settlement patterns and defensive strategies of Norman-period Herefordshire.
