Kelsborrow Castle, Iron Age promontory fort in Kelsall, England.
Kelsborrow Castle is an Iron Age hill fort in Kelsall positioned on elevated terrain with commanding views. The site features a bank and ditch system that forms its defensive boundary.
The fort developed during the Iron Age as a response to the need for defensive settlements. Archaeological work later uncovered artifacts from this ancient period.
This fort was part of a defensive network in the region and connects to other fortifications nearby. The site shows how communities once protected their settlements from threats.
The site is accessible on foot with vantage points over the surrounding countryside. It is located in open fields and easy to reach from the local area.
Only seven hill forts of this kind exist in Cheshire, making this location a rare example of ancient defensive construction. This scarcity makes it important for understanding the region's past.
