Stoke Hill

Stoke Hill

Stoke Hill is a large hill rising to the north of Exeter in Devon. It is significant as the site of both an Iron Age hill fort [R.R.Sellman; Aspects of Devon History, Devon Books 1985 - ISBN 0861147561 - Chapter 2; The Iron Age in Devon. Map Page 11 of Iron Age hill forts in Devon includes Stoke Hill.] and a later Roman signal station.

The Iron Age Hill fort is situated slightly below and North East of the Roman Signal Station, putting it in a better position to have sight of a number of other Hill forts simultaneously. It is at approx 145 Metres above Sea Level.

The Roman Signal Station is at approx 160 Metres above Sea Level at the highest point of the hill.
