Blewburton Hill is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Blewbury in Berkshire. The site is defined by two substantial defensive earthwork circuits comprising banks and ditches that enclose an irregular polygonal area on the hilltop. The fort dates to the Iron Age, likely occupied during the later prehistoric period as a defensive settlement and possible territorial centre. Archaeological investigation and survey have established its significance as one of the notable fortified sites of the Berkshire chalk downs, though details of its chronological development and intensity of occupation remain subjects of ongoing study.
