Bury Camp

Bury Camp is the site of an Iron Age multivallate hillfort in north-west Wiltshire, England.

At the northeastern corner, the inner bank turns inwards to form a funnel-shaped entrance leading to a hollow way running down the steep scarp into the valley below.

[1] Excavations carried out under Denis Grant King, from 1959 onwards, turned over some good examples of Iron Age drystone walling, and found remains of a much earlier structure that existed at the northeast entrance, indicated by drystone revetments within the northern rampart.

[2] The building of the hillfort can be dated to about 350 BC, but various Neolithic and Mesolithic flint tools were found, indicating a much earlier use.

This included typical domestic animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, horses, and dogs.
