Vespasian's Camp is a fortified Iron Age hillfort that also includes inside its banks Neolithic pits and a Bronze Age burial mound. Located 2km (1.2 miles) east of Stonehenge, it is now covered in trees.

Built on a spur of land bordered by the River Avon, the fort offered a strongly defensive position, a place of safety in times of trouble.

Despite its name, Vespasian's Camp has no connection with Roman history. In Elizabethan times, William Camden, one of the first people to tour and describe ancient sites, gave the hillfort its rather romantic name.
