Hillfort

Folklore

Earth-Castles
Devon is dotted with hill-forts of many periods, constructed against invaders from east or west, or from the sea. Their exact purpose is being investigated, and indeed they are still being counted. Quite a lot have legends attached to them. Bradley, near Newton Abbot, has men in armour lying there on moonlight nights.
