Kenwalch's Castle is probably an Iron Age hill fort that may have been converted into a Roman fortress, near Penselwood, Somerset, England, 6.6 kilometres east south east of Bruton at grid reference ST747335. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is believed to be named after Cenwalh of Wessex.
The site straddles the modern border between Somerset and Wiltshire, and is within Castle Wood which covers its defences and interior. The latter has an area of 1.6 hectares . There is a single rampart and ditch which are well preserved in places. The earthwork bank is up to 2 metres high and accompanied by a 2 metres ditch in places. The road north from Penselwood village crosses the hill fort and probably passes through the original entrances.
