Castle Hill Settlement is a hillfort located 350 metres south of Woolleigh Bridge in Devon. The site is recorded as a prehistoric defensive enclosure, typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the South West, though the precise dating and extent of occupation remain subjects of archaeological study. The hillfort comprises earthwork defences characteristic of the period, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. Such hillforts served both defensive and administrative functions within Iron Age communities, and this example contributes to understanding settlement hierarchies and land use across Devon during the later prehistoric period.
