Fieldnotes
| This small camp must have been a fairly attractive place to live. Screened from the wind and facing inward towards the land amongst a jumble of rocks, it would have been difficult to find. Spent some time up here watching small birds feeding in the boggy wet ground, it has enormous presence this rocky outcrop, peaceful as well. Not so peaceful (reason I am writing this) is the walk up the cliff path, 18 inches wide and a vertical drop to the sea, for those who suffer from vertigo take a different route. At the stream below turn right up the valley and then head back to the headland along the top. Cunliffe -Iron Age communities in Britain; to quote;- A complex rampart protected a small group of 6 conjoined stone wall huts 5-20 ft in dia., excavated in 1900. Sparse finds;- whetstones, spindle whorls, hammer stones and fragments of iron, plus a few glass beads. |
