Camp Hill is a promontory fort situated in Gloucestershire that demonstrates the defensive strategies of Iron Age settlement in the region. The site occupies a naturally elevated position that would have provided commanding views of the surrounding landscape and strategic control of local routes. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of Romano-British activity at the location, including the remains of a temple complex, indicating continuity of religious and possibly administrative significance through the transition from Iron Age to Roman occupation. The monument represents an important example of how pre-existing Iron Age fortifications were sometimes incorporated into or adapted for use within the Romano-British settlement pattern.
