Promontory

A promontory is a raised mass of land, declined abruptly from only one side. It can overlook water (in which case it can be called a peninsula) or land.

Most promontories either are formed from a hard ridge of rock that has resisted the erosive forces that have removed the softer rock to the sides of it, or are the high ground that remains between two river valleys where they form a confluence.
