Slight univallate hillfort 125m west of Tunley Farm is a prehistoric fortified settlement located in Somerset, England. The monument is defined by a single defensive rampart, which survives as a slight earthwork, indicating either original modest construction or considerable erosion over time. Dating to the Iron Age period, the site represents a form of settlement hierarchy characteristic of the later prehistoric landscape of south-western England. The hillfort's univallate design suggests it served defensive or territorial functions typical of Iron Age communities in the region, though the modest surviving remains limit detailed interpretation of its specific role or period of occupation within the Iron Age chronology.
