Dolbury Hillfort is a univallate hillfort situated on high ground north of Killerton House near Exeter in Devon. The monument comprises a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an approximately oval interior, characteristic of Iron Age hillfort construction in the southwest of England. Dating evidence and comparative morphology suggest occupation during the Iron Age period, though the site has not been subject to extensive archaeological excavation that would establish a precise chronological range. The hillfort represents a typical example of the defensive settlements that dominated the Devon landscape during the later prehistory of southern Britain.
