Rawlsbury Camp is a multivallate hillfort located in Dorset, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site is defended by multiple concentric earthwork ramparts and ditches, a characteristic feature of later prehistoric fortified settlements in southern Britain. The monument occupies a prominent hilltop position, which would have afforded strategic views over the surrounding landscape and provided defensive advantages. Such multivallate hillforts are generally interpreted as high-status settlement and administrative centres, though their precise functions remain subjects of scholarly debate.
