Looking across some notable defences to the crag-top cairn rising beyond the ‘crag top enclosure’.... note the curious quartzite bands.

Looking from the great cairn to the approx south-east....
Returning after a decade or so specifically to see the nearby cairn and enclosure.... it would’ve been rude not to stop off again to enjoy surely one of the finest hillfort views in all Wales. The central summits of Cadair Idris can be seen rising above the enigmatic Castell-y-Bere.
Looking across the western round barrow to the eastern (top right)
Looking towards Boyton...
Descending back to Sherrington from Boyton Down..
The stone rows can just be discerned striding up from Headland Warren from the right. The early morning viewpoint is the minor road across the western flank of Hookney Tor. So much going on here, with Grimspound just a few hundred yards down the road...
The hefty ‘capstone’... or whatever it is.
Rumours of Nessie’s migration to warmer climes are still to be substantiated.
The dreaded Land’s End hotel rises beyond. For you, ze war is over....
Looking across the obvious cist to distant Cape Cornwall
Quite a decent monument for such an exposed – to the tourist boot – location..
Looking southwest(ish) towards some place called Land’s End? Apparently.
The pulverised wreck of the MV RMS Mulheim lies, unseen, below in Castle Zawn. Careful of that edge, now.
Pretty impressive defences, it has to be said.
The powerful cross-bank with rock-cut ditch and counterscarp.
Didn’t think I was going to like this... but I did. Pretty special.
Towards Carn Boel. The Longships can be seen top left of image.
Looking very approx south across the Pendower Coves to Carn Barra.
Towards Nanjizal / Mill Bay... wonder what the locals call it?
When one first arrives there doesn’t appear much here... from a specific antiquarian point of view... however tune in the radar and it is clear that cross bank does exactly what it needs to.
Every boy’s crazy ‘bout a Sharp Profiled Tor. Some, anyway.
