Hillfort on Brent Hill is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Devon. The site comprises an oval enclosure defined by a single substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive earthworks in the region. Dating to the Iron Age period, the hillfort would have served as a defended settlement or refuge for the local population. The monument's physical remains, though subject to erosion and agricultural use over subsequent centuries, remain discernible in the modern landscape as a significant example of Iron Age settlement archaeology in the southwest of England.
