Overview

History & significance

Tetbury Camp is a hillfort located near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England. The site exhibits the characteristic defensive features of Iron Age fortifications, with evidence of substantial earthwork construction including ramparts and ditches. Its precise dating within the Iron Age period and the extent of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study, though it represents an important example of the settlement pattern and territorial organisation of prehistoric Gloucestershire. The monument's survival as an upstanding earthwork continues to provide valuable evidence for understanding the defensive and settlement hierarchy of iron age communities in the region.
