Clatworthy hillfort is a multivallate Iron Age fortification located in the Brendon Hills area of west Somerset. The site is defined by multiple concentric banks and ditches that enclose an irregular roughly trapezoidal interior, demonstrating the defensive architecture typical of later prehistoric hillforts in the region. Its construction and occupation are consistent with Iron Age settlement patterns in southwest England, though precise dating evidence remains limited. The monument represents an important example of Iron Age territorial control and settlement in the Quantock and Brendon uplands, and survives as an earthwork of considerable archaeological interest.
