Overview

History & significance

Icomb Camp is a hillfort located in Gloucestershire, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a univallate defensive enclosure defined by a single bank and ditch, situated on elevated terrain typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region. The site represents the form of fortified settlement characteristic of the later prehistoric period in the Cotswolds, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited. As with many hillforts of this period, Icomb Camp would have served defensive and possibly administrative functions for its Iron Age community.
