Warham Camp, Iron Age hillfort in North Norfolk, England
Warham Camp is an Iron Age fortified settlement in Norfolk featuring two concentric defensive rings of banks and ditches. The structure follows a circular design that remains clearly visible in the landscape today.
The settlement was built by the Iceni between the 8th and 1st centuries before Christ and served as a defensive stronghold. After the Roman conquest of Britain, the site remained inhabited, with finds showing that life continued here under new circumstances.
This settlement served as a center for the Iceni people, who maintained their community here for centuries. Roman artifacts discovered during excavations show that activity continued at the site even after the conquest.
The site sits in open countryside and is easily reached on foot, with the defensive banks clearly visible. Visiting in dry weather works best since the ground becomes boggy after rain.
The River Stiffkey reshaped the original circular layout into a horseshoe form during the 18th century. This natural transformation remains visible in how the site appears today.
