promontory forts (forts, fortifications (built environment), ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Fortified enclosures constructed on a raised block of land that forms a promontory of some kind projecting out from a hillside or cliff line. The main defenses cut off the neck of the promontory, the remainder of the perimeter having natural defensive capabilities. Most date back to the Iron Age. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Verdedigingswerk gebouwd bovenop een klif, zodat het enkel bereikbaar is via een smalle strook land en dus makkelijker te verdedigen valt. De meeste dateren uit de Ijzertijd. |
