Sidbury Castle is a hillfort situated in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a roughly circular enclosure defined by a substantial rampart and ditch, positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. Like many hillforts of its period, Sidbury Castle likely served defensive and administrative functions for the Iron Age communities of south-west England, though evidence for intensive occupation remains limited. The site's earthworks remain substantially visible today, preserving the essential character of this prehistoric defensive settlement.
