Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle in Lancashire
Possible prehistoric or medieval triple bank and ditch cutting off a promontory, surviving as degraded earthworks and identified from GoogleEarth by a local amateur enthusias Stuart Mendelson. The earthworks have a convex curve in relation to the promontory, the banks standing up to 0.2m high and the ditch of correspondig depth. It is unclear whether all three earthworks were built in one episode.
