Uley Bury is a univallate Iron Age hillfort located near Uley in Gloucestershire. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing approximately 32 acres on the summit of a prominent hill, typical of the substantial hillforts that dominated the landscape of the Cotswolds during the Iron Age period. Archaeological investigation and surface survey have identified evidence of occupation and use during the Iron Age, reflecting its role as a significant territorial centre or defended settlement. The site remains an important example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the West of England and contributes substantially to understanding settlement patterns and land use in the prehistoric and protohistoric periods of the region.
