Berry Castle is a univallate hillforts located near Tiverton in Devon, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a single defensive rampart with an external ditch enclosing roughly circular earthwork on elevated terrain. It represents a characteristic example of the widespread hillforts constructed across the South West during the later prehistoric period, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited. The surviving earthworks continue to demonstrate the defensive strategy of its original construction, despite subsequent agricultural activity in the surrounding landscape.
