Walterstone Camp is a univallate hillfort located in Herefordshire, positioned on high ground in the Golden Valley region. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately circular or oval area, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. The site commands views over the surrounding landscape and would have served both defensive and settlement functions for Iron Age communities in the Welsh Marches region. Like many hillforts in Herefordshire, Walterstone Camp represents an important focus of power and habitation during the Iron Age, though evidence for specific occupation phases and abandonment remains limited in the published record.
