Wind Hill, situated close to
Lynmouth in Devon, England, is the location of an
Iron Age enclosure or "spur"
hill fort. The site is effectively a hillside forming a spur or promontory between the steep valley of the
East Lyn River
The East Lyn is a river which rises high in Exmoor, in the English county of Somerset. It flows through the East Lyn Valley in Devon.
Watercourse
The river is formed as the Upper East Lyn at Malmsmead from two minor tributaries, the Oare W ...
to the south and the cliffs to the north. Wind Hill's summit is at above sea level, though the enormous earthworks defending the spur are at a lower level to the east.
