Boringdon Camp

Boringdon Camp is an Iron Age and Roman earthwork in Cann Woods, near Plympton, in south-western Devon, situated on a commanding hilltop at 460 feet above sea level, with views down the Plym Valley and to Plymouth Sound.

The fort earthworks are a Scheduled Monument.[1]

Until recent years, the hilltop was open to the public, but access has now been restricted due to the erosion caused by passing feet.
