Smythapark hillfort is a prehistoric fortified enclosure located in Devon, England. The site comprises a single substantial bank and ditch formation that encloses an irregular area on sloping ground. Dating evidence and archaeological assessment place the monument within the Iron Age period, when such hillforts served defensive, administrative, or communal functions across southern Britain. The earthwork survives as a significant topographical feature, though like many hillforts of its type, detailed chronological precision and functional interpretation require further archaeological investigation.
