Overview

History & significance

Norbury Camp is a Iron Age hillfort located in Gloucestershire, England. The site is defined by a single substantial bank and ditch that enclose an area of approximately five acres, representing a modest defensive work compared to some contemporary fortifications in the region. The earthwork survives as a prominent landscape feature and has been subject to archaeological investigation which confirms its Iron Age dating.
