Burrington Camp, also known as Burrington Ham, is an Iron Age hill fort in the North Somerset district of Somerset, England [1]. The hill fort is situated in the Mendip Hills approximately 0.6 miles south from the village of Burrington [1]. The camp overlooks Burrington Combe, where there have been archaeological discoveries of cemeteries, demonstrating a very long human occupation of the area [1]. The hill fort has an oval shape and is univallate [1]. The name "Burrington Ham" was commonly used for the hill fort before the 20th century [1].
