A promontory fort is a defensive structure located above a steep cliff, often only connected to the mainland by a small neck of land, thus using the topography to reduce the ramparts needed. Although their dating is problematic, most seem to date to the Iron Age. They are mainly found in Brittany, Ireland, the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Man, Devon, the Channel Islands and Cornwall.

rdfs:comment	Promontory Fort (eigentlich „Ancient Promontory Fort“, irisch Dún Cinn Tíre, in Cornwall „Cliff Castle“, französisch L’éperon barré) ist die Bezeichnung für bronze- und eisenzeitliche Abschnittswälle, die auf Halbinseln und Vorgebirgen liegen, aber auch an Abbruchkanten im Binnenland. Sie sind sehr verbreitet auf den Britischen Inseln. Abschnittsbefestigungen an der Küste werden auch als cap fort, cliff fort oder coastal fort (deutsch: Kap-, Klippen- oder Küstenburg) bezeichnet.

(en) Una fortezza su promontorio è una struttura difensiva situata su una ripida scogliera, spesso unita alla terraferma solo grazie ad uno stretto lembo di terra, e che sfrutta quindi la topografia per ridurre la quantità di bastioni necessari. Nonostante sia difficile datarne la nascita, molte sembrano appartenere all'età del ferro. Si trovano soprattutto in Irlanda, nelle isole Orcadi, sull'isola di Man ed in Cornovaglia. (it) Un éperon barré désigne en archéologie un promontoire rocheux dont l'isthme a été coupé par un talus qui prend la forme d'une simple levée de terre ou d'un mur de pierres. Considéré traditionnellement comme un type d'habitat fortifié constitué d'une avancée d'un relief, un éperon naturellement protégé, coupé par une structure de défense (mur de pierres sèches, palissade, fossé, rempart…), afin d'y établir une occupation humaine temporaire ou permanente, son statut et sa fonction sont réinterrogés par la recherche actuelle. Si certaines de ces implantations spécifiques littorales et insulaires ont une fonction défensive, plusieurs caractéristiques (fossés peu profonds, talus peu élevés, protection même du côté le moins accessible — falaise, ravin —, palissades peu dissuasives, éloignement d (fr)
