Woodbury Camp is a hillfort situated near Woodbury in East Devon. The site dates to the Iron Age and comprises a substantial univallate enclosure defined by a single defensive bank and ditch system. The fort occupies a prominent hilltop position commanding views across the surrounding landscape, a characteristic siting that reflects both defensive strategy and territorial control typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Southwest Peninsula. Archaeological evidence suggests the site served as a focal point for settlement and possibly administrative functions during the later prehistoric period.
