Brackenbury Camp is a hillfort located in Gloucestershire, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site is situated on elevated terrain and represents a significant example of the defensive settlements that characterised Iron Age communities in the region. The camp comprises an earthwork enclosure with distinctive ramparts and ditches that would have served both defensive and administrative functions for the prehistoric settlement.
