Berry Castle (sometimes known as Berry Camp) is an early Roman (possible Iron Age) hillslope enclosure in the West Somerset district of Somerset, England. The hill fort is situated approximately 3.2 miles (5.1 km) west from the village of Luccombe. A series of earthworks survive in Berry Castle; it dates from the late Iron Age or early Romano British period.[1][2] It has been protected as a scheduled monument.[3]
