Dodman Point near Mevagissey is the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast, measuring 374 feet [1]. It is also known by its earlier names of the Deadman and Deadman's Point [1]. It hosts the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort, and at its seaward end is "Parson Martin's Cross" – a large granite cross erected in 1896 to encourage those involved in Christian service, and which aids navigation around the headland [1].
