Cranbrook Castle, Iron Age hill fort in Moretonhampstead, England
The fortification stands at 337 meters above sea level on a hilltop, offering views across the Teign Valley and surrounding Devon landscape.
The stone-faced ramparts of this defensive structure were constructed during the Iron Age period, demonstrating engineering methods from ancient British settlements.
The monument contains archaeological evidence of early British defensive systems and serves as a reference point for studying Iron Age settlements in Devon.
Visitors need sturdy walking shoes to access the castle grounds, as the terrain includes varied elevation changes and natural obstacles.
The structure forms part of a network of three Iron Age fortifications in the region, positioned 2 kilometers from Prestonbury Castle and 3 kilometers from Wooston Castle.
