Icomb camp is a univallate hillfort located near Icomb in Gloucestershire, situated on high ground overlooking the surrounding landscape. The earthwork comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular area, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. The site's defensive positioning and construction technique are consistent with fortified settlements of the first millennium BC, though precise dating and the extent of Iron Age occupation remain subjects of archaeological investigation. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork that contributes to understanding settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Cotswold region during the Iron Age.
