Mentioned by Craig Weatherhill, in “Cornovia: Ancient Sites of Cornwall & Scilly” (Cornwall Books - 1985, revised 1997 & 2000. “The extremely narrow neck of this fine headland is crossed by a deep, well-defined Iron Age ditch with a central entrance causeway. Only vestiges of the rampart remain. The summit of the strikingly conical headland, beyond the prehistoric defence, is crowned by the ruins of the medieval chapel of St Michael.” pure joy Posted by pure joy
