Kelsey Head

Kelsey Head is a coastal Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and headland in north Cornwall, England, noted for its biological interest. The site contains an Iron Age hill fort, a 170 by 160 metre cliff castle with earthwork remains dating to 500-300 BC. Evidence of earlier Mesolithic and Neolithic habitation has been found through flint flake discoveries not related to the later fortification.
