Promontory fort 300m west of Great Woolden Hall Farm is a prehistoric defensive enclosure located in Lancashire. The monument consists of a promontory position fortified by substantial earthwork defences, exploiting the natural topography of the landscape for protection. Dating evidence places the site within the Iron Age period, when such hillforts and promontory forts formed an important category of settlement and territorial marker across northern Britain. The site's survival as an earthwork monument makes it significant for understanding the distribution and character of Iron Age fortified settlements in the North West of England.
