Raddon Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure and later Iron Age hillfort situated in Devon, England. The site exhibits the characteristic interrupted ditch system typical of Neolithic causewayed enclosures, which date to the fourth millennium before the present and likely served communal gathering, ritual, or defensive purposes. Subsequently reoccupied and refortified during the Iron Age, the hillfort phase represents a much later period of monument use and adaptation. The site demonstrates the enduring significance of certain elevated locations in the Devon landscape across multiple prehistoric periods, spanning approximately three millennia from the Neolithic to the Iron Age.
