Kyloe Hills promontory fort

  • Description

    "'Promontory forts are a type of hill fort in which conspicuous naturally defended sites are adapted as enclosures by the construction of one or more earth or stone ramparts placed across the neck of a spur in order to divide it from the surrounding land.' https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1006479 Here vertical cliffs bound the southern edge of the hill fort and semicircular ramparts defend the north. Splendid views too." Photo by Russel Wills, 2016.
