Wadbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Somerset. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, typical of fortified settlements from the later prehistoric period. Its defensive earthworks suggest occupation during the Iron Age, when such hillforts served as centres of settlement, storage, and refuge across the South West of England. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region.
