Longtree Hundred in Gloucestershire

Longtree is one of the hundreds of Gloucestershire, in the south of the county, adjacent to the border with Wiltshire. It is bounded to the north by Bisley Hundred; to the east by Crowthorne and Minety hundred; to the south by Wiltshire; to the south-west by Grumbald's Ash hundred; to the west by Berkeley Hundred; and to the north-west by Whitstone Hundred.

Longtree hundred is one of the group known as the Seven Hundreds of Cirencester, which were apparently administered with the royal manor of Cirencester before 1189 when Richard I granted them with the manor to Cirencester Abbey.

It comprises the ancient parishes of:
