Kelsborrow Castle, Iron Age promontory fort in Kelsall, England.
The archaeological site occupies a strategic position at 120 meters above sea level, offering clear views across the Cheshire Plain to the west and south.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed a bronze palstave and various artifacts indicating human settlements and defensive activities during the Iron Age period.
The fort represents one of only seven hill fortifications in Cheshire, forming a network with nearby Eddisbury and Oakmere sites near the Mouldsworth Gap.
The remains include a single bank reaching 1.8 meters in height and a ditch system extending 30 meters from the outer edge to the inner rampart.
The total enclosed area spans 2.93 hectares of defensive space, with an additional 0.71 hectares dedicated to the fortification structures themselves.
