Walbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated on high ground near Inkpen in Hampshire. The monument comprises a univallate defensive earthwork with a single bank and ditch system, characteristic of many southern English hillforts of the Late Iron Age period. The fort occupies a commanding position commanding views over the surrounding landscape, typical of sites established for both defensive and territorial control purposes. Though no substantial structural remains survive above ground beyond the earthwork defences themselves, the site represents an important example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and landscape control in the region.
