Promontory fort on Combs Edge

The National Heritage List for England records Promontory fort on Combs Edge 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 on Combs Edge is a type of early-medieval defensive structure, likely dating to between the 5th and 9th centuries AD. These forts were often associated with local chieftains and may have had later folklore connections to fairy realms or hidden otherworldly inhabitants, as was common in Irish and British tradition.
