Toot Hill camp is a univallate hillfort located in Hampshire, England. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an oval or subcircular area on elevated ground. It dates to the Iron Age, a period during which such hillforts served as defensive settlements or territorial centres across southern Britain. The site's relatively modest earthwork, compared to more substantial multivallate forts in the region, suggests it may have functioned as a local stronghold or refuge during the later prehistoric period.
