Kemerton Camp is a hillfort situated near the village of Kemerton in Gloucestershire, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial rampart and ditch, positioned on elevated ground that commands views across the surrounding landscape. Archaeological investigation and historical analysis have established it as a significant defensive settlement of the pre-Roman Iron Age period, representative of the fortified settlements that characterised this era in the West Midlands region. The site remains visible today as an earthwork monument, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in this area of England.
