Large multivallate hillfort 205m east of Luce's Farm is a substantial Iron Age defensive settlement located in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises multiple concentric earthwork banks and ditches, characteristic of the multivallate hillfort tradition of southern Britain during the Iron Age period. Such fortified hilltops served as centres for settlement, refuge, and territorial control, reflecting the social organisation and defensive concerns of Iron Age communities. The survival of its earthwork ramparts makes this site significant for understanding the evolution of hillfort construction and the landscape of Iron Age Gloucestershire.
