Ebury Hill is a univallate hillfort located near Haughton Farm in Shropshire, England. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch, typical of Iron Age hillforts of the midlands region, though its precise dating remains uncertain without detailed excavation. During the Second World War, the summit was adapted for military use as a vehicle testing station, a repurposing that reflects the strategic employment of prehistoric earthworks during the conflict. The site represents both an important Iron Age defensive settlement and evidence of twentieth-century wartime adaptation of the landscape.
