Uxellodunum is an Iron Age hill fort, or oppidum, above the river Dordogne near the modern French village of Vayrac in the Lot department, within the ancient territory of the Cadurci tribe. According to Aulus Hirtius, continuing Julius Caesar Commentaries on the Gallic War, it was the site of the last revolt against Roman authority in Gaul, which was put down harshly.
