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]
