Stockland Great Castle is a univallate hillfort situated in Devon, England, dating to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a single defensive bank and ditch enclosing an area on high ground, typical of fortified settlements from the later prehistoric period. Such hillforts served as defended settlements, storage centres, and places of refuge for local populations during the Iron Age, reflecting the social and political organisation of communities in south-western Britain. The site's physical remains preserve evidence of Iron Age defensive architecture and settlement patterns in the Devon landscape.
