The fort is situated on a promontory on the eastern side of Heale Down, approximately 230 metres (750 ft) above sea level.[1] It is close to another Iron Age hill fort at Beacon Castle. Voley Castle is a slight univallate hillfort, a rare type of hill fort found mainly in Devon, and is unusual for its type because it has an outer earthwork.[2]
