Overview

History & significance

Burridge Camp is a univallate hillfort located near Chagford in Devon, dating to the Iron Age. The site is defined by a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an irregular oval area on elevated ground, a configuration typical of southwestern hillforts of the first millennium BC. The earthwork remains visible today, though somewhat degraded by time and land use, and represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in the upland regions of Devon. Such hillforts served functions including defence, settlement, and administrative centres for Iron Age communities in the southwest of England.
