Conygar Hill univallate hillfort is a single-banked Iron Age defensive enclosure located in Somerset, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval earthwork formed by a single substantial bank with an external ditch, a characteristic feature of univallate hillforts constructed during the later prehistoric period. The site dates to the Iron Age, when such fortified settlements served various functions including refuge, storage, and settlement centres for local populations. The earthwork remains visible in the modern landscape as a testament to Iron Age engineering and territorial organisation in the Somerset region.
