Rawlsbury Camp is a small multivallate hillfort located in Dorset, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument is characterised by multiple concentric defensive earthwork banks and ditches that encircle the hilltop, a design typical of later Iron Age hillforts in southern Britain. The site demonstrates the defensive sophistication and communal labour investment characteristic of Iron Age settlement hierarchies in the region. Its archaeological significance lies in its preservation of these earthwork remains, which contribute to understanding Iron Age territorial control and settlement patterns in Dorset.
