Hilltop enclosure at Yellowberries Copse, 430 metres west of Higher Turtley, is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in Devon. The site consists of a hilltop enclosure defined by banks and ditches, typical of Iron Age or possibly earlier Bronze Age defensive or territorial settlements in south-western England. The enclosure occupies a commanding position on high ground, a characteristic siting for such monuments that afforded strategic advantage and visibility across the surrounding landscape. The precise dating and functional interpretation of the site remain subjects of archaeological study, though its morphological features place it within the broader Iron Age settlement tradition of Devon.
