Iron Age defended settlement 525m ENE of Elberton Manor is a hillfort or enclosed settlement of Iron Age date located in Gloucestershire. The site is characterised by defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that would have enclosed a residential and possibly administrative centre during the Iron Age period, roughly between the 8th and 1st centuries BC. Such settlements served as focal points for tribal communities, offering protection and facilitating control of surrounding agricultural lands and trade routes. The specific topography and scale of the defences at this location reflect the strategic importance of hillforts in Iron Age Gloucestershire, a region of considerable archaeological significance during the late prehistoric period.
