Castle Dyke is a prehistoric hillforts located in Devon, England. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork featuring defensive banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortification, though it may incorporate earlier occupation phases. The site's elevated position and constructed defences suggest it served as a territorial stronghold and likely a place of refuge during the later prehistoric period. The surviving earthworks remain visible in the landscape and contribute to understanding the settlement hierarchy and defensive strategies of pre-Roman Devon.
