Wadbury Camp is a univallate hillfort located near Wiveliscombe in Somerset. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular roughly oval area on high ground. It is presumed to date to the Iron Age period, though no archaeological excavation has established a precise chronology for its construction or use. The site represents one of the numerous hillforts characteristic of the Somerset landscape during the later prehistoric period.
