Yarborough Camp is a univallate hillfort situated in Lincolnshire, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular area on elevated ground, characteristic of hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. Its construction and use reflect the settlement patterns and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in the East Midlands, though detailed evidence regarding specific phases of occupation remains limited in the published archaeological record. The site survives as an earthwork monument of regional significance within the broader landscape of Iron Age fortified settlements in Lincolnshire.
