Yarborough Camp is a univallate hillfort located in Lincolnshire, England, comprising a single defensive rampart enclosing an approximately circular or oval interior. The monument dates to the Iron Age, representing a fortified settlement typical of the later prehistoric period in eastern England. The site's single bank-and-ditch construction suggests a relatively modest defensive installation compared to the multiple ramparts found at some contemporary hillforts. Yarborough Camp represents an important example of Iron Age settlement strategy in the East Midlands, though like many such monuments its precise chronology and the duration of its occupation remain subjects of archaeological enquiry.
