Berry Head is a coastal headland that forms the southern boundary of Tor Bay in Devon, England [1]. Lying to the east of the town of Brixham, it is a national nature reserve and a local nature reserve [1]. Berry Head is the site of an Iron Age hill fort which was mostly destroyed by the construction between 1794 and 1804 of extensive fortifications to protect the Torbay naval anchorage against threatened invasion by French armies [1].
