Milber Down is a hill in south-eastern Devon, south-east of Milber, a suburb of Newton Abbot and north of Coffinswell, which has little of distinction from the numerous hills hereabouts but that it is capped by an Iron Age hill fort, where one remarkable artefact has been found.
The fort is laid out on the north-western slope of Milber Down at about 360 feet above sea level. It is bisected by the minor ridge road that leads to Barton, a suburb of Torquay to the east. One Iron Age artefact discovered there was a figurine of a stag.[1]
