Norbury Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Gloucestershire, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch system, typical of defensive settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period. Located on elevated terrain, the hillfort would have served both defensive and administrative functions for Iron Age communities in the region. The site remains an important archaeological resource for understanding settlement patterns and territorial organization in the Forest of Dean area during the Iron Age period.
