Berry Castle is an Iron Age Hill fort in the civil parish of Huntshaw,[1] close to Weare Giffard in Devon, England, to the north of Great Torrington.

Description

The fort takes the form of an oval enclosure situated on a promontory in Huntshaw Wood some 95 metres (312 ft) above sea level.[2] In 2015, tree clearance revealed that the enclosure is rectangular in shape with entrances at either end, and may be a Roman camp or a local example of a Neolithic sky burial enclosure.
