Farway Castle is a univallate hillfort situated in Devon, England. The monument comprises a single defensive bank with an external ditch, enclosing an oval or sub-rectangular area characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements. The earthwork defences remain substantially visible across the site, though their condition reflects centuries of agricultural use and natural erosion. The hillfort dates to the Iron Age period, representing a significant example of the fortified settlements that were established across south-western Britain during the later prehistoric era.
