Hillfort on Grabbist Hill, 275m south west of St Leonard's Well, is a prehistoric defensive earthwork situated in Somerset. The monument consists of a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch system characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction. The site reflects the settlement and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age communities in the region, demonstrating the widespread pattern of hillfort establishment across south-western England during the later pre-Roman Iron Age. The earthwork remains substantially preserved as an archaeological monument, preserving evidence of prehistoric territorial and domestic organisation on the Somerset landscape.
