Stoke Hill Camp is a slight univallate hillfort located in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument is defined by a single defensive earthwork comprising a bank and ditch that encloses an area of higher ground. The univallate design and modest scale distinguish it from more heavily fortified hillforts of the period, suggesting its use as a settlement or refuge rather than a major defensive stronghold. As a prehistoric fortified site, Stoke Hill Camp represents the pattern of Iron Age settlement and land use characteristic of south-western England during the first millennium before the Roman conquest.
