Painswick Hill Camp, also known as Kimsbury Camp, is an Iron Age hillfort situated near Painswick in Gloucestershire. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single rampart with an external ditch, which enclose an area of approximately 1.3 hectares on the hilltop. Archaeological evidence and typological analysis suggest occupation during the later Iron Age, though precise dating remains uncertain. The monument represents a significant example of Iron Age settlement and defensive architecture in the Cotswold region, reflecting the strategic and territorial concerns of Iron Age communities in this part of England.
