Roddenbury Hill is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Somerset, England. The site comprises an Iron Age fortification defined by defensive earthworks, typical of the fortified settlements constructed across southern Britain during the Iron Age period. The hillfort's strategic hilltop location provided both defensive advantage and commanding views of the surrounding landscape, serving as a place of refuge, administrative centre, and focal point for the local community. Like many hillforts of this era, Roddenbury Hill represents an important stage in the development of British settlement patterns and social organisation during the first millennium before Christ.
