Torberry Hill is an Iron Age hillfort in West Sussex. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The hillfort is located within the parish of Harting, within the South Downs National Park.
The hillfort has a pear-shaped layout and covers an area of 2.8 hectares. It has a low dump rampart and a ditch that enclose the western part of the hill. The eastern part is defended by the steep slope of the hill. The interior of the hillfort contains several storage pits that date to the Iron Age. The hillfort was built in several phases, starting from the 5th century BC.
