Civil War Fieldwork on Staddon Hill is a fortification constructed during the English Civil War period in the mid-seventeenth century. Located in Devon, this earthwork represents the military engineering undertaken by one of the opposing forces during the conflict, with traces of defensive banks and ditches still visible in the landscape. The site reflects the strategic importance of Devon's geography during the Civil War years, when control of key positions was essential to both Royalist and Parliamentarian interests. The fieldwork survives as archaeological evidence of the fortifications that characterised the military occupation and control of the English countryside during this turbulent period.
