Camp Hill is a promontory fort situated in Gloucestershire that demonstrates evidence of occupation across multiple periods. The site comprises a hillfort with associated Romano-British structures, including temple remains, reflecting the continuation and adaptation of the settlement through the Iron Age and Roman periods. The promontory location provided natural defensive advantages, while the presence of religious structures suggests the site maintained significance as a ritual and administrative centre during the Romano-British phase. The archaeological record indicates sustained importance across these chronological transitions, making Camp Hill a valuable example of settlement continuity in the western borderlands.
