Enclosure and associated outworks on Staddon Hill is an Iron Age monument located in Somerset. The site comprises a substantial enclosure with defensive outworks, characteristic of the fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period in the south-west of England. The earthworks remain visible as substantial banks and ditches, representing a significant example of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation. Such hillforts served multiple functions as centres of storage, craft production, and defensive refuges for surrounding communities during the period of increasing social complexity in pre-Roman Britain.
