Dolbury Hillfort at Killerton is an Iron Age enclosure dating to c. 600 BC, situated on a 120 m hilltop overlooking the River Culm in Broadclyst, Devon. The Scheduled Monument features ramparts, ditches, and entrance structures across two construction phases, with a smaller well-defended enclosure in the western section. Now within the National Trust's Killerton estate, the earthworks remain generally impressive despite 18th-century tree planting that created Dolbury Clump.
