Woodbury Castle, Iron Age hillfort in Woodbury, England.
The earthwork fortification stands at 185 meters above sea level on Woodbury Common, offering views across the Exe Estuary and Lyme Bay.
Dating back to the first millennium BC, this defensive structure features substantial earth mounds and ditches that protected local Iron Age communities.
Archaeological investigations at the site uncovered evidence of timber structures, indicating settlement patterns of prehistoric communities in Devon.
Visitors can access the site through the East Devon Way hiking trail, with free parking available at the Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust car park.
The elevated position of this military installation provided strategic control over ancient trade routes connecting to the Roman settlement of Exeter.
