Raddon Top is the highest point of the Raddon Hills, a small ridge of hills in the Shobrooke area of Mid Devon, England [1]. The summit is at some 235 metres above sea level, making it a significant feature in the surrounding countryside [1]. Archaeological excavations in 1994 revealed remains of an Early Iron Age palisaded enclosure and an Iron Age hillfort with timber ramparts [1]. The same excavations also uncovered a much earlier Neolithic causewayed enclosure [1].
