Capler Camp, Iron Age hill fort in Brockhampton, England.
The archaeological site extends across ten acres of land with a double layer of defensive ditches surrounding the elevated fortification position.
Built during the Iron Age, Capler Camp served as a strategic defense point above the River Wye, appearing in the Domesday Book as Capelore.
The name Capler combines ancient terms 'caple' for lookout place and 'ofer' for flat-topped ridge, reflecting early British linguistic heritage.
The Wye Valley Walk provides access to the archaeological site, where visitors can examine the remaining earthworks and defensive structures.
The fort's positioning on a hilltop offered defenders clear views of potential threats approaching from multiple directions across the Wye Valley.
