Inside the fort, looking west. St Michael’s Mount is left of centre.

Looking NW. Godolphin Hill is straight ahead, the eastern end of the West Penwith moors top left.

Looking southwest from the inner rampart.

Sections of the northern rampart break cover of the bracken.

Sorry Rhiannon, I couldn’t find the Giant’s Chair on the southwest side of the hill. This was the only vaguely chair-like outcrop I found, but it was on the northwest slopes so not even in the right place.

The National Trust Heritage records suggest that this may be a small tor cairn, built around a natural outcrop.

A further possible hut circle on the summit next to the previous one.

A further possible circular feature conjoined to the hut circle or ring cairn in the first picture. This might suggest an arrangement like that on the top of Bartinne.

Another hut circle (or ring cairn) on the summit.

A fine hut circle, or possible ring cairn on the summit of Godolphin Hill. Looking towards Castle Pencaire hillfort.

Mulfra Hill B barrow.

Some of the houses are now getting very overgrown.

Looking towards the Watch Croft cairns we had visited before coming up here.

The northern arc of kerbing on the southern cairn, looking towards Nine Maidens of Boskednan.

Substantial kerbs on the southern cairn. Looking towards the summit. The standing stone can just be seen on the skyline.

Kerbing on the southwestern edge of the southern cairn.

The cairn lying due south of the summit.

The northeastern edge of the cairn to the southwest of the summit is build around a large granite rock, possibly a natural outcrop. Looking towards the summit, with its own monuments.

Stonework within the cairn southwest of the summit.

Kerbing on the southwestern edge of the cairn southwest of the summit.

The cairn southwest from the summit. The kerbing on the east side is unusual (if original) as it’s formed of more than one course.

As the sea mist drifts across the landscape.

Detail of kerbing on the northern cairn.

On the northern kerbed cairn. The southern cairn is far left, with Caer Bran hillfort on the skyline above. The hill rising on the right is [Bartinne.

The northern kerbed cairn with fake dolmen. Watch Croft and Carn Galva can be seen on the skyline, far right.

Visible stonework in the southern cairn, looking towards the northern cairn.

The kerbed cairns on the summit of the hill. Southern cairn in the left foreground, northern cairn (with little fake dolmen) in the right background.

Looking north from the southern of the four disc/platform barrows towards the next barrow in the group.

Granite blocks on the edge of the southern of the four disc/platform barrows. The two kerbed cairns are on the extreme left of shot.

The third barrow from the north.

The second barrow from the north.

Looking north from the edge of the northernmost barrow. The light grey stone just visible in the centre of the shot is Wheal Butler menhir.
