Dyke Camp is a prehistoric hillforts occupation site located in Gloucestershire, England. The earthwork comprises a univallate or multivallate defensive enclosure characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region, with banks and ditches forming its principal structural elements. The site dates to the Iron Age period, representing a phase of fortified habitation common to the western Midlands during the pre-Roman Iron Age. Its archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding settlement hierarchy and defensive strategies in Gloucestershire during this formative period of British prehistory.
