Civil War redoubt 750m south east of East Linnacombe is a seventeenth-century military earthwork constructed during the English Civil War. The monument consists of an angular fortified position designed to command local terrain and provide defensive capability during the conflict between Parliamentary and Royalist forces. Such redoubts were typically constructed rapidly using earth and timber, representing the practical military engineering of the period rather than the monumental stone fortifications of earlier eras. The site remains as an archaeological record of Civil War military activity in Devon and the landscape modifications undertaken to support military operations during this period of internal conflict.
