Risbury Camp is a univallate hillfort situated near Risbury in Herefordshire, England. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an irregular roughly oval area, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in the Welsh Marches region. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age, though the precise chronology of its construction and occupation remains uncertain without substantial archaeological investigation. Its defensive earthwork, still visible in the modern landscape, represents a typical example of the hillforts that proliferated across western England during the latter prehistoric period, serving functions related to settlement, storage, or territorial assertion during a period of increasing social complexity.
