What is recorded here

Cliff castle at Tubby's Head is a scheduled monument in Cornwall, a formal recognition that the site matters enough to protect. The name suggests a steep coastal edge where human hands shaped stone or earth into a defensible form, perhaps a watchtower, a boundary marker, or a refuge from storm and intrusion. Tubby's Head gives the place a lived identity, the kind of nickname that appears when people keep returning to the same landmark and teaching it to children.

The National Heritage List for England records Cliff castle at Tubby's Head as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Cliff Castle at Tubby's Head is a Neolithic promontory fort, likely constructed around 2500–2000 BC, and is remembered as an important example of early defensive and ceremonial structures in southern England.
