Clatworthy hillfort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Somerset, England. The site is defined by substantial earthwork defences comprising a single rampart and ditch that enclose an oval hilltop position. Archaeological investigation and survey work have established its occupation during the Iron Age period, when such defended settlements served as centres of authority, refuge, and habitation for local communities. The hillfort remains a significant example of Iron Age defensive architecture in the Somerset landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns in the region.
