These are the ripening berries of Bittersweet or Woody Nightshade. Although the ripe red berries are tempting for children, it is the green berries that are more poisonous. No-one has died from eating these since a girl in 1948.
Nonetheless it is not a plant to eat.
The plant scrambles over other plants and the purple and yellow flowers are quite attractive but easily overlooked.
