Capler Camp is an Iron Age hill fort located 2.5 km south of Fownhope, Herefordshire. The Camp is on a hill top above the River Wye. It has a double layer of ditches enclosing ten acres. The Wye Valley Walk goes through this land. Capler was known as Capelore in the Domesday Book. This name combined caple, "look-out place" with ofer, "flat-topped ridge".
