Peppercombe Castle

Also known as: Peppercombe

Peppercombe is a small valley on the north-western coast of Devon, England [1]. Peppercombe Castle is an Iron Age Hill fort situated on the cliffs immediately to the west of the valley [1]. The remains of the fort are hard to define from maps and it may well be that much of the site has been lost to coastal erosion, but it would seem to have been at around 80 metres above sea level [1].
