Location of Sweetworthy in Somerset

Sweetworthy is the site of two Iron Age hill forts or enclosures at Luccombe, 4 kilometres (2 mi) south of Porlock, Somerset, England. They are on the north-facing slope of Dunkery Hill. One has a single rampart and external ditch, enclosing 0.25 hectares (0.62 acres). The rampart is still visible and the ditch on the east side is used as a trackway. There was a defended settlement above the main site.

It is also the site of a deserted medieval settlement, which has been designated as a scheduled monument. It has been added to the Heritage at Risk Register because of the vulnerability to plant growth.
