Stockland Castle

Stockland Castle is the name given to two Iron Age hill forts on Stockland Hill close to Stockland in Devon, England. Stockland Great Castle occupies a position on the eastern slope of the hill at 190–210 metres (620–690 ft) above sea level. Stockland Little Castle, located about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) northeast of its larger neighbour, occupies a small promontory on the eastern slope of the hill at approximately 175 metres (574 ft) above sea level. Both date to the Iron Age period (c. 800–100 BC) and represent rare examples of prehistoric defensive architecture in Devon.
