Kenidjack Castle is an Iron Age promontory fort near Boscean, Cornwall. It is situated on the far western coast of Cornwall, between the coves North and South Zawn. The fort survives as an enclosed area of coastal headland with a central steep, rocky spine topped by a slight wall and some upright stones and a series of at least three rampart banks with ditches both to the north and south side of the rocky ridge at the landward end of the promontory. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
