King's Weston Hill camp is a multivallate hillfort situated near Henbury in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises two concentric defensive banks with external ditches, a characteristic feature of Iron Age fortifications in the region, and is typically dated to the later Iron Age period. The camp occupies a prominent hilltop position that would have afforded commanding views over the surrounding landscape, suggesting its function as a defensive stronghold and possibly a centre of local authority during the proto-historic period. The site remains an important example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and territorial control in the Welsh Marches borderland.
