Wandlebury Camp is a multivallate hillfort located near Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, representing a significant Iron Age defensive settlement. The site began as a univallate hillfort before later phases of construction resulted in multiple defensive ramparts and ditches. An Iron Age cemetery discovered at the location provides archaeological evidence of occupation and burial practices during this period. Seventeenth-century formal garden remains indicate the site's later reuse during the early modern period, demonstrating the long-term significance of the location across different historical phases.
