Slight univallate hillfort, two avenues, saucer barrow, regular aggregate field system and associated earthworks on Walton Common is a complex of prehistoric and early medieval earthworks located in Somerset. The site comprises a modest single-banked hillfort together with Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial features including a saucer barrow and two linear avenues, alongside a systematic field arrangement that reflects organised land division and agricultural management. The varied monument types suggest occupation and use spanning from the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period, with the hillfort itself likely dating to the Iron Age or Romano-British era. These earthworks represent an important palimpsest of settlement patterns and land-use practices across multiple prehistoric periods.
