I had written a review of how I couldn’t see anything due to the high gorse and brambles.

Then looking at the photos I discovered I was looking in the wrong place. I was on the headland/cliff tops and clearly I should have been more inland. Doh!

Shows I don’t know the don’t know the difference between a promontory fort and a cliff fort!
