Woodbury Camp is a hillfort situated near Exmouth in Devon, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument consists of a single or multiple ramparts with associated ditches forming an oval or roughly circular enclosure on elevated ground, characteristic of defensive settlements of the pre-Roman British era. The site commands views across the surrounding landscape and would have served as a focal point for settlement, storage, and protection during the Iron Age. Like many comparable hillforts across south-western England, Woodbury Camp represents an important centre of habitation and territorial control during the later prehistoric period.
