Slight univallate hillfort 115m east of Brockley Cottage is a prehistoric defensive enclosure situated in Somerset, England. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart encircling an internal settlement area, characteristic of univallate hillforts of the Iron Age period. The earthwork survives as a slight topographical feature across the landscape, indicating either erosion of the original structure or modest construction in the first instance. Such hillforts typically functioned as enclosed settlements or refuges during the later prehistoric period, serving both defensive and communal purposes for Iron Age communities.
