Whelpley Hill is a slight univallate hillfort located in Buckinghamshire, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an elevated position, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction, though the precise dating of this particular example remains uncertain without extensive archaeological investigation. The univallate form suggests a relatively modest defensive installation, possibly serving as a settlement or territorial marker during the later prehistoric period. The site's survival as an earthwork demonstrates its archaeological value in understanding the pattern of Iron Age settlement and defence in the Chilterns region.
