South Longridge Wood hillfort is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Devon, England. The site consists of a hilltop fortification characterised by earthwork banks and ditches that define its perimeter, representing typical Iron Age construction practices. The monument shows evidence of occupation during the prehistoric period, when such hillforts served defensive and possibly administrative functions within their local communities. The surrounding woodland has subsequently affected the visibility and preservation of the earthworks, though the basic structural elements remain discernible as archaeological features.
