What is recorded here

Brewer's Castle is an Iron Age hill fort on Hawkridge Ridge Wood near Dulverton, Somerset. Earthworks still mark the defended settlement, while nearby Mounsey Castle and changing iron trade help explain why people built strongholds there. The ridge may have crowded households, shifted power and occasional warfare, but the earth remains the clearest witness.

The National Heritage List for England records Brewer's Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Brewer's Castle is a medieval structure located in Cumbria, built in the 13th century by the de Brus family, who were prominent landowners in the region. It is important as a well-preserved example of a small feudal castle and as evidence of the strategic military and administrative roles such castles played in the Anglo-Scottish border region.
