Clovelly Dykes
Clovelly Dykes is an Iron Age hill fort or earthwork near Clovelly, Devon, England. Situated on the high plateau behind the coast at approx 210 metres above sea level, it is one of the largest and most impressive Early Iron Age hill-forts in Devon. It is a complex series of earthworks covering more than 20 acres (8.1 ha).[1]
An excavation was carried out at Clovelly Dykes in about 1903, but it is poorly documented.[2] The North Devon Archaeological Society carried out a resistivity survey south of the area of the scheduled monument in 2017.[3]
