Castle Close

Castle Close is a circular earthwork located near Stoodleigh in Mid Devon [1]. It is described on maps as a settlement [1]. Situated some 208 metres above sea level, overlooking the River Exe, it is most likely to be an Iron Age Hill fort or enclosure [1]. While the earthworks do not appear as pronounced as others nearby at Huntsham Castle, Cranmore Castle and Cadbury Castle they are still in a classical layout typical of an Iron Age hill fort or enclosure [1]. These other Devon Hill forts are all in plain view from the centre of the enclosure [1].
