A promontory fort on Seaton Down is a type of early medieval defensive structure, likely dating to the Iron Age or early medieval period, built on a headland or prominent ridge. While primarily a military or territorial site, such forts sometimes became associated with local folklore, though specific traditions for this site are not widely recorded.
