Berry Castle, Black Dog

Also known as: Berry Castle, Berry Castle, Woolfardisworthy

Berry Castle is an earthwork probably dating to the Iron Age close to Black Dog in Devon north of Crediton and west of Tiverton [1]. It does not fit the traditional pattern of an Iron Age Hill fort [1]. Although the earthwork would seem to be an incomplete enclosure, it is not at the top of a hill, although it is on the south east slope of a major hill which peaks at 199 Metres above Sea Level [1].
