Overview

History & significance

Promontory fort north of the village is a prehistoric hillfort situated in Cornwall. The site occupies a naturally defensible promontory position, a characteristic defensive strategy employed during the Iron Age in southwestern Britain. The fort's physical character is defined by its use of natural topography, with earthwork defences constructed to protect the settlement from landward approach. Such promontory forts represent an important class of Iron Age settlement in the region, reflecting the social and defensive strategies of pre-Roman Celtic communities.
