Stokeleigh Camp is an Iron Age promontory fort in Leigh Woods, North Somerset, near Bristol, dating to 500 BC–1 AD [1]. The hill fort is one of three Iron Age fortifications overlooking the Avon Gorge, alongside Burgh Walls Camp to the south (of which almost no trace remains) and Clifton Down Camp on the opposite side of the gorge near the Observatory [1]. Archaeological evidence suggests a prehistoric road connected Stokeleigh Camp with Cadbury Camp near Tickenham in North Somerset [1].
