Salmonsbury Camp is a Iron Age hillfort located near Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire. The enclosure is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising multiple ditches and banks, which enclosed an area of considerable size typical of major settlements of the period. Dating to the Iron Age, the site represents an important example of fortified settlement in the Cotswolds region, strategically positioned to command the surrounding landscape. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its scale and structural complexity, which indicate it served as a major centre of habitation and possibly administration during the later Iron Age.
