Woodbury Hill Camp is a hillfort located in Worcestershire, England, situated on high ground in the parish of Mathon. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents a significant defensive settlement of the pre-Roman period. The camp is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose the hilltop, characteristic of the hillfort construction tradition of central England during the later prehistoric period. The site occupies a strategically advantageous location that would have commanded views across the surrounding landscape, typical of Iron Age settlements of the region.
