Stokeleigh Camp, Iron Age promontory fort in Long Ashton, England.
Stokeleigh Camp is an Iron Age fort built on level ground in Long Ashton, sprawling across several acres. The site has three successive ramparts that step upward toward an elevated inner area, with natural slopes providing additional defense.
The fort originated during the late pre-Roman Iron Age as a settlement of the Dobunni community. Archaeological evidence shows later presence of Belgae groups in the first century.
The fort's strategic position and architectural elements demonstrate the advanced military engineering capabilities of Iron Age communities in British territory.
The site can be reached on foot using marked paths through Leigh Woods nearby. Information boards are placed around the site to help visitors understand the fortification system.
The ramparts take advantage of the natural cliffs of Avon Gorge to the north and east, which served as additional barriers. The innermost rampart rises particularly steeply, creating a striking visual impression of the site's defensive strength.
