Wall Hills Camp is a Iron Age hillfort situated near Monmouth in the border region of Herefordshire. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single rampart and ditch that enclose an irregular polygonal area on elevated terrain. Its construction and occupation are consistent with the Iron Age settlement hierarchy of the Welsh Marches, reflecting the strategic importance of this borderland territory during the later prehistoric period. The monument survives as a recognisable earthwork despite erosion and modern land use, representing a significant archaeological record of Iron Age defensive and administrative settlement patterns in the region.
