Berry Castle is a Iron Age hillfort situated near Moreton Hampstead in Devon. The site occupies a prominent hilltop position and is defended by a single substantial rampart with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age defensive construction. The fort encloses approximately two hectares and would have served as a territorial stronghold and settlement centre during the pre-Roman Iron Age period. The earthworks remain substantially visible today, though partially obscured by woodland vegetation, and represent an important example of Devon's Iron Age fortified landscape.
