Lake villages northwest of Oxenpill is a prehistoric settlement site located in Somerset. The site comprises evidence of Iron Age occupation dating to approximately the first millennium BCE, representing an important example of lakeside settlement patterns in southern Britain during this period. The villages were situated in the wetland environment characteristic of the Somerset Levels, where waterlogged conditions have aided the preservation of organic remains.
