Promontory fort at Lankidden

The National Heritage List for England records Promontory fort at Lankidden 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.

A promontory fort at Lankidden is a type of early-medieval defensive structure, likely dating to the Iron Age or early medieval period, built on a headland or promontory. While primarily a military or defensive site, such forts were sometimes later associated with local folklore, including beliefs in hidden fairy folk or ancient spirits.
