Promontory fort 375m south west of Highfold Farm is a prehistoric defensive earthwork situated in Gloucestershire. The site occupies a naturally defensible promontory position and is defined by substantial earthwork banks and ditches that exploit the topography of the landscape. Dating to the Iron Age, this fort represents one of the regional examples of hillfort construction characteristic of the period, when such fortified settlements served as centres of habitation, storage, and defence for local populations. The monument remains visible as landscape earthworks and continues to hold archaeological significance for understanding Iron Age settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the Gloucestershire region.
