Salperton Camp is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Salperton in Gloucestershire. The site is defined by a single substantial defensive rampart that encloses an irregular area on high ground, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Cotswolds region. The camp dates to the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served as defended settlements, storage centres, or places of refuge for local communities. Its precise chronology within the Iron Age and details of its occupation history remain subjects of archaeological investigation, though it represents an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the Gloucestershire landscape.
