Castle Hill, Torrington

Castle Hill, Torrington

There are two Hills named Castle Hill within the immediate environs of Great Torrington in Devon The first is within the Town and is the site of the Norman & medieval castles, but was probably an Iron Age Hill Fort before this.

The second is a smaller Iron Age earthwork to the South East along the River Torridge which is probably also a small Hill Fort.
