Winkelbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Wiltshire, England. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by substantial earthwork defences consisting of a ditch and rampart, typical of the fortified settlements constructed during the Iron Age period. The camp would have served as a settlement and defensive stronghold for the local population during the later prehistoric period. Such hillforts are considered significant archaeological monuments that provide evidence of social organisation, land use, and settlement patterns in Iron Age Britain.
