Berry Castle is an earthwork probably dating to the Iron Age close to Black Dog in Devon, north of Crediton and west of Tiverton.

Berry Castle does not fit the traditional pattern of an Iron Age hill fort. The earthwork would seem to be an incomplete enclosure, and it is not at the top of a hill, although it is on the south-east slope of a major hill which peaks at 653 feet above sea level.[1]
