Promontory fort N of village is a prehistoric coastal fortification located in Cornwall. The site consists of a promontory defence comprising a substantial bank and ditch system that cuts across a natural headland, a fortification strategy characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in south-western Britain. The earthwork defences suggest occupation during the later prehistoric period, when such promontory positions were strategically valuable for both settlement and control of coastal access. The monument remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age defensive architecture and settlement hierarchy in the Cornish landscape.
