Roveries Hill Camp is a slight univallate hillfort located approximately 400 metres north-east of The Roveries in Shropshire. The monument is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular hilltop position, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Welsh Marches region. The earthworks remain visible as low relief features in the landscape, though their subtle character reflects considerable degradation since their original construction. The site represents the category of smaller, territorially significant hillforts that characterised later prehistoric settlement and land control in this area of central England.
