Agaton fort is a coastal fortification located in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The site occupies a promontory position with defensive earthworks that exploit the natural topography of the coastline. Like other hillforts and promontory forts of the Iron Age period, Agaton fort would have served defensive and possibly administrative functions for the local community. The surviving earthwork remains demonstrate the engineering approach typical of Iron Age fortified settlements in south-west England.
