Castle Close is a multivallate Iron Age hillfort located near Chagford in Devon. The site is defined by a series of concentric earthwork banks and ditches that enclose an interior area, a defensive arrangement typical of later prehistoric fortifications in south-west England. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, likely the later first millennium BC, when such enclosed settlements served as territorial centres and refuges for local communities. The earthworks remain substantially visible as upstanding features in the landscape, preserving important evidence of Iron Age settlement and social organisation in Devon.
