Westbury Camp is a univallate hillfort located approximately 750 metres north of Stokewood Cottage in Somerset, England. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart enclosing an interior space, a characteristic feature of Iron Age hillforts in the region, though the precise dating of this particular example requires archaeological assessment. The slight nature of the surviving earthwork suggests either original construction of modest defensive ambition or considerable degradation of the rampart over the intervening centuries. The site is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry number 1015500, affirming its status as a scheduled ancient monument of archaeological interest.
