North Hill Cleave is a Iron Age hilltop enclosure located in Devon, England, situated approximately 400 metres north-east of Outer Narracott Farm. The monument comprises a defended settlement defined by earthwork banks and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in south-western England, dating to the later prehistoric period. Such hilltop enclosures served as centres of settlement, defence, and territorial control during the Iron Age, reflecting the social and political organisation of the period. The site's location on elevated terrain would have provided both defensive advantage and command over the surrounding landscape, typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in Devon.
