Loughton Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Epping Forest, England.
The camp spans 10 acres of land with visible earthworks consisting of a continuous bank and ditch that encircle the fortified area.
Archaeological excavations at Loughton Camp began in 1881 under General Pitt-Rivers, followed by investigations from the Essex Field Club in 1882.
Local folklore associates the site with Queen Boudica and the Trinovantes tribe, who may have used it for defense against the Catuvellauni.
Walking paths throughout the site allow visitors to examine the ancient earthworks while protecting the archaeological remains from damage.
The southwestern edge of the camp features Kate's Cellar, where according to records a hermit established residence during historical times.
