Bathampton Camp is a univallate hillfort situated near Bathampton in Somerset, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area of elevated ground, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in south-western Britain. The site's univallate construction suggests it belongs to the earlier phase of hillfort development, likely dating to the Middle or Late Iron Age period. Its modest defences and position indicate it served a protective and possibly administrative function for the local Iron Age community, though the site has undergone considerable erosion and modification since antiquity.
