Leckhampton camp and tumulus is a scheduled ancient monument located in Gloucestershire comprising both a prehistoric burial mound and an Iron Age hillfort enclosure. The tumulus represents funerary practice of the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric period, while the camp element reflects the defensive settlement patterns characteristic of the Iron Age. The site demonstrates the long continuity of occupation and monumentality in the landscape, with successive generations utilising the same prominent location for both ritual and domestic purposes. The surviving earthworks preserve evidence of these distinct phases of activity spanning several centuries of prehistory.
