Stembridge Camp is a prehistoric hillfort situated in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single bank and ditch arrangement that encloses an irregular hilltop position. Dating evidence and typological analysis suggest occupation during the Iron Age, when such fortified settlements served important defensive and administrative functions within their local territories. The camp's strategic location within the Vale of Glamorgan indicates its role within the settlement hierarchy of Iron Age south Wales, though the precise chronology and duration of occupation remain subjects for further archaeological investigation.
