The Camp earthwork is a prehistoric enclosure located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a substantial bank and ditch system characteristic of Neolithic or Bronze Age defensive or ceremonial sites, though its precise dating remains uncertain without archaeological investigation. Its physical form suggests it served either a practical defensive purpose or functioned as a ritual or communal gathering place. The earthwork represents an important surviving example of prehistoric landscape modification in the county and contributes to understanding early settlement patterns in the Welsh borderland region.
