Windrush Camp is an Iron Age hillfort situated in Gloucestershire. The site occupies a commanding position and is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular hilltop enclosure. Dating to the Iron Age period, the monument represents a significant example of fortified settlement architecture from prehistoric Britain. The camp would have served defensive and administrative functions during its period of use, typical of major hillforts in the region during the centuries preceding the Roman conquest.
