Burton Point, Cheshire

Burton Point is an Iron Age promontory fort located 1 mile (1.6 km) to the southeast of the village of Burton, in the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire, England.

The site, which overlooks the estuary of the River Dee, consists of tree-covered earthworks in the form of a bank and ditch.

It is not known whether these are of an early Christian date, or if they are the remains of a local shipwreck in 1637.

In the early 18th century, a new channel was constructed on the Welsh side of the estuary to improve navigation to the Port of Chester.

This led to the headland becoming landlocked to the reclaimed farmland of Sealand, Flintshire.
