Summary edit

Description
English: Castle Dyke: hill fort earthworks on Haldon Ridge Banks and ditch are still prominent after over 2000 years of weathering. Precise use not known - could have been site of a high status residence and/or a community centre where markets and rituals held. Would probably have been visible from the coast at Dawlish as site is just below the ridge line on the seaward side.
