Hillfort in Ten Oaks Wood is an Iron Age defensive enclosure located in Devon. The site comprises a univallate hillfort, defined by a single defensive rampart and ditch, typical of fortified settlements constructed during the later prehistoric period in south-west England. Such hillforts served as strongholds for local communities, functioning as centres of power, trade, and refuge during periods of conflict. The earthwork remains visible in the woodland landscape, preserving evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in the Devon region.
