Overview

History & significance

Uley Bury is a Iron Age hillfort situated near the village of Uley in Gloucestershire. The site occupies an elevated position and is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular polygonal area. Archaeological investigation and surface survey have established its occupation during the later Iron Age, likely within the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. The fort represents a significant example of the defended settlements characteristic of the Cotswold region during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
