Also known as: Dolbury Castle

Dolbury is another local name for the Iron Age hill fort or enclosure at Killerton Park in Devon, England [1]. The hill fort is situated on a hilltop some 128 metres above sea level; the hilltop has a flat promontory jutting out northwards, still some 100 metres above sea level, around which the River Culm bends [1]. The situation of the hill in the Culm Valley makes it very significant, although that can be hard to appreciate from the views afforded of it from the M5 motorway [1].
