Woodland fort is a Iron Age hillfort situated in Devon, England. The site comprises a defensive enclosure defined by substantial earthwork ramparts and ditches characteristic of the Iron Age period, likely dating to somewhere within the first millennium before the Common Era. The fort occupies a naturally commanding position that would have served both defensive and possibly territorial administrative functions for the Iron Age community that constructed and maintained it. As with many Devon hillforts, Woodland fort represents an important element of the Iron Age settlement hierarchy and landscape organization in the South West of England.
