Roddenbury Hill is an ancient hillfort situated in Somerset, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site comprises a single rampart with an external ditch forming a roughly circular enclosure, characteristic of the hillfort tradition that flourished across south-western Britain during the later prehistoric period. The monument occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain, typical of defensive settlements from this era. The earthwork survives as a substantial archaeological feature, though its precise date within the Iron Age and the specific functions of the settlement remain subjects for archaeological investigation and interpretation.
