Blackbury Camp

Blackbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort situated near Seaton, Devon, England. The ramparts are still relatively high, showing an unusual entrance feature. The fort occupies the end of a large ridge at some 185 metres (607 ft) above sea level. It was defended by a single bank and ditch, forming a roughly D-shaped enclosure. A triangular barbican was added to the south but was never completed. The fort was probably occupied in the second and first centuries BC by a cattle-farming community.
