Located in Devon, England, Dolbury is another local name for the Iron Age hill fort or enclosure at Killerton Park. It is a scheduled monument and an archaeological site that has been recognized in several books and websites regarding Iron Age sites.
The hill fort is situated on a hilltop approximately 128 metres above sea level. The hilltop features a flat promontory jutting out northwards, which remains around 100 metres above sea level. The River Culm bends around this prominent feature.
The situation of the hill within the Culm Valley makes it significant, though this may be difficult to appreciate from the views afforded of it from the M5 motorway. The site is currently managed as a heritage site by Historic England.
