Leckhampton camp and tumulus is a Neolithic burial mound situated on Leckhampton Hill in Gloucestershire. The site comprises a substantial earthwork comprising both a barrow and associated defensive works, representing overlapping phases of prehistoric use. The tumulus itself is characteristic of early Neolithic funerary practice, whilst the camp element suggests later Iron Age or Romano-British occupation and modification of the landscape. The monument remains a significant indicator of the long-term ritual and domestic significance of this elevated Gloucestershire location across multiple prehistoric periods.
