Berry's Wood is an Iron Age hillfort near Newton Abbot in Devon, set at about 75 m above sea level on a commanding promontory above the River Lemon with views down the Teign Estuary, on the hilltop above Bradley Manor. First described in print in 1950 by archaeologist Aileen Fox, the defences consist of a single limestone rampart and ditch enclosing roughly 11 acres. The main entrance at the south-eastern end is approached by a sunken lane, with a postern at the north-western end. Traces of hut remains have been observed within the enclosure.
