Winkelbury Hill is a univallate hillfort situated in Wiltshire, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately circular area on elevated ground, a configuration typical of many smaller hillforts of the later prehistoric period. Archaeological survey and investigation have identified occupation and use patterns consistent with the later Iron Age, though the precise chronology of its construction and abandonment remains subject to scholarly refinement. The earthwork represents a significant element of Wiltshire's Iron Age settlement hierarchy and settlement pattern evidence.
