Blewburton Hill is a Late Iron Age hillfort located in Berkshire, England, situated near the village of Blewbury in the Vale of the White Horse. The monument is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising a single rampart and ditch system that enclose the hilltop, representing a characteristic example of Iron Age settlement fortification in southern Britain. Archaeological investigation and finds evidence indicate occupation during the Late Iron Age, with the site likely serving both defensive and settlement functions during this period. The hillfort reflects the territorial and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the region and remains a significant archaeological monument of the pre-Roman Iron Age.
