Hilltop enclosure at Yellowberries Copse is a prehistoric earthwork located in Devon, England, situated approximately 430 metres west of Higher Turtley. The monument consists of a hilltop enclosure of Iron Age date, defended by banks and ditches that follow the natural contours of the elevated terrain. Such enclosures are characteristic of Iron Age settlement and land use patterns in the southwest of England, reflecting both domestic occupation and territorial organisation during the later prehistoric period. The survival of the earthwork as an upstanding archaeological feature makes it a significant example of Iron Age defensive architecture within the Devonshire landscape.
