What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Iron Age promontory fort known as Oldaport Camp as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Oldaport Camp is an Iron Age promontory fort, likely dating to between the 6th century BCE and the 1st century CE, situated on a natural headland with defensive ditches and banks. While primarily of archaeological significance, such sites were sometimes later associated with local folklore, including tales of hidden treasure or supernatural inhabitants, though no specific legends are recorded for this location.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
