Towbury Hill camp is a univallate hillfort situated near the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. The site is defended by a single substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in the Welsh Marches region. Its strategic position on elevated terrain suggests it served as a defensive settlement during the later prehistoric period, likely from the Iron Age. The earthworks remain substantially visible across the landscape, preserving evidence of this important period of settlement and territorial control in the western Midlands.
