Gadbury Camp is a univallate hillfort located near Droitwich in Worcestershire, situated on high ground commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The monument dates to the Iron Age, representing a significant phase of prehistoric settlement and defence in the region. The camp consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an oval area, typical of the hillfort tradition practised across the West Midlands during the Iron Age period. Archaeological investigation and earthwork survey have confirmed its defensive function and helped establish its chronological position within the broader pattern of Iron Age settlement in Worcestershire.
