Kyloe Hills promontory fort is a prehistoric hillfort located in Northumberland in north-east England. The site occupies a naturally defensible promontory position and is thought to date to the Iron Age, representing a significant example of fortified settlement from this period in the region. The fort is defined by its defensive earthworks, which exploit the topographical advantages of the hillside location. Such promontory forts were characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Britain, serving as centres of control, refuge, or territorial markers for their respective communities.
