Drakestone Camp is a univallate hillfort situated on Stinchcombe Hill in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular area on the hilltop, representing a form of Iron Age fortification typical of the Cotswold region. The site's topography and defensive arrangement suggest occupation during the later Iron Age, though the precise chronology and duration of use remain subjects of archaeological study. The camp forms part of the broader landscape of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in Gloucestershire, occupying a strategically significant elevated position in the local terrain.
