Prestonbury Castle is an Iron Age Hill fort on the north east edge of Dartmoor in Devon, England. Situated on a massive hilltop some 240 metres above sea level[1] overlooking the Teign Valley, it is located near two other hill forts (Cranbrook Castle and Wooston Castle) both of which lie about 2 km (1 mi) away.[2]
