Seaton Down

Iron Age hill fort site in Devon, England

Seaton Down is the location of an Iron Age hill fort in Devon, England, that takes the form of an earthwork with a large linear rampart cutting a promontory of land at the northeast end of the down off as a defensive fortification. It is slightly unusual in this layout when compared with other forts in the area. The fort is approximately 125 metres (410 ft) above sea level.[1]
