Aconbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort on Aconbury Hill in Herefordshire, England, about 4 miles (6 km) south of Hereford, and near the village of Aconbury [1]. At the south-east and south-west corners there are inturned entrances [1]. The site was examined between 1948 and 1951; it was found that the ramparts seem to have internal revetments [1]. Many pottery sherds, prehistoric and some Roman, were found [1]. The material suggests occupation similar to that of the nearby hillforts Dinedor Camp and Sutton Walls [1].
