Bradley promontory fort is a prehistoric hillfort located near Beechmill House in Cheshire, positioned on elevated terrain above Beechbrook. The site occupies a natural promontory position, a defensive location characteristic of Iron Age fortifications in the region. The fort's earthwork defences and topographic situation suggest occupation during the Iron Age period, though detailed excavation records specific to this monument remain limited in the published scholarly literature. Its survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the strategic importance of promontory positions in ancient settlement and defence patterns across the Cheshire landscape.
