Countisbury[1] is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Brendon and Countisbury, in the North Devon district, in the county of Devon, England. It is on Exmoor,[2] roughly two miles east of Lynmouth along the A39. It has a church[3] and pub.[4] The National Trust owns the other buildings.[5][6] In 2001 the parish had a population of 66.
On 1 April 2013 the parish was abolished and merged with Brendon to form "Brendon and Countisbury".[7]
Scholars [8][9] now believe the Iron Age promontory fort of Wind Hill on Countisbury Hill was the site of the Battle of Cynuit in 878.
