Castle Park Camp is a multivallate hilltop enclosure situated approximately 720 metres north west of Pomphlett in Devon. The monument comprises multiple concentric defensive banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortifications, indicating its construction and use during the prehistoric period. The earthwork defences remain substantially visible in the landscape today, preserving evidence of the settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation of the later prehistoric communities in south Devon. Such hillforts served significant roles as administrative, economic, and defensive centres within their respective regions during the Iron Age.
