British Camp, Iron Age hillfort in Colwall, England
British Camp rises 338 meters above sea level with multiple circular defensive earthworks enclosing an area of 44 acres across three hilltops.
The fortification began in the 2nd century BC as an Iron Age settlement, later incorporating a Norman castle during the medieval period.
Archaeological investigations revealed more than 100 round platforms where dwellings stood, indicating a substantial permanent settlement of ancient British tribes.
The site maintains clear pathways through its multiple ramparts and ditches, with access points located on the eastern, western, and northeastern sides.
Two separate major hillforts exist within one mile of each other, with Midsummer Hill fort positioned directly south of British Camp.
