Tiverton is a town at the confluence of the rivers Exe and Lowman in Devon, England, with human occupation dating to the Stone Age, evidenced by numerous flint tools found in the area [1]. Cranmore Castle is one of the largest enclosures in Devon at over 15 acres, with clear sightlines to other earthworks and overlooking the river confluence [2]. Its function remains debated -- possibly a livestock enclosure, market site, or tribal oppidum [2]. The town's name derives from "Twy-ford-ton," meaning "the town on two fords" [3].
