Rame Head

Rame Head is a coastal headland in southeast Cornwall featuring an Iron Age promontory fort, or 'cliff castle', defended by steep cliffs on three sides. The narrow neck of land connecting it to the mainland was further excavated with a deep outer ditch, earth and stone rampart, and a central causeway still visible today. The eastern part retains traces of round house platforms, though damaged by wartime construction. A medieval chapel dedicated to St Michael crowns the summit, first licensed for Mass in 1397 and probably built on the site of a Dark Age hermitage.
