Clovelly Dykes

Clovelly Dykes is an Iron Age hill fort or earthwork near Clovelly, Devon, England [1]. Situated on the high plateau behind the coast at approx 210 metres above sea level, it is one of the largest and most impressive Early Iron Age hill-forts in Devon [1]. It is a complex series of earthworks covering more than 20 acres (8.1 ha) [1]. An excavation was carried out at Clovelly Dykes in about 1903, but it is poorly documented [1]. The site was designated a scheduled monument in 1924 [1]. Excavations were carried out in 2018 and 2019 [1].
