Bagley is a monument complex in Somerset comprising an Iron Age defended settlement enclosure and the remains of a deserted medieval farm, reflecting successive periods of occupation and land use. The Iron Age enclosure represents a significant fortified site of the prehistoric period, whilst the medieval farm structures evidence the continued habitation and agricultural exploitation of the location during the medieval period. The site's dual chronological character demonstrates the strategic or economically favourable nature of its location, which warranted defensive investment in the Iron Age and subsequent settlement in the medieval period. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under list entry 1008468.
