The large multivallate hillfort 205m east of Luce's Farm is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Gloucestershire. The monument is defined by multiple concentric defensive ramparts and ditches, a characteristic feature of Iron Age hillforts in the region, indicating its construction and primary use during the Iron Age period. The site's multivallate design suggests a settlement of considerable importance and demonstrates the defensive sophistication employed by Iron Age communities in the Cotswolds and surrounding landscape. Such hillforts served as centres of tribal power, storage, and refuge, playing a significant role in the social and economic organisation of Iron Age societies in western Britain.
