Brewer's Castle is a Iron Age hillfort located near Wiveliscombe in Somerset, England. The site comprises a roughly circular earthwork with substantial defensive banks and ditches that enclose an area of approximately two hectares. Archaeological evidence and morphological analysis suggest occupation during the later Iron Age, likely within the final centuries before the Roman conquest of Britain. The hillfort's strategic position on high ground overlooks the surrounding landscape and would have served both defensive and administrative functions for the local Iron Age community.
