Hillslope enclosure 155m west of Brougham Farm is a prehistoric earthwork situated in Somerset. The monument consists of an enclosed area defined by banks and ditches typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the south-west peninsula, though enclosures of this type may have been constructed and reused across multiple prehistoric periods. The site's position on sloping ground reflects the settlement strategies of its period, with the earthwork forming a defensive or stock-management boundary in the local landscape. The exact date of construction and use remains subject to archaeological interpretation, though its morphology is consistent with later prehistoric activity in the region.
