Leckhampton is one of a number Hillforts constructed along the Cotswold escarpment between 500-100BC, others include Painswick and Crickley Hill. The enclosure at Leckhampton is made up of a single bank and ditch cutting off a projecting headland. These sorts of hillforts are sometimes called promontory forts. The Trig point sits on the bank of the hillfort at the north eastern end.
The site is in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of a series of unimproved Jurassic limestone grassland area which are located along the Cotswold scarp.
