Lewesdon hillfort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Dorset, positioned north east of Brimbley Coombe Farm. The site is defined by substantial defensive earthworks comprising a single rampart with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hill fort construction in southern England. Archaeological evidence and morphological analysis indicate occupation during the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as centres for habitation, storage, and defence. The monument remains an important example of Iron Age territorial and social organisation in the Dorset landscape.
