The National Heritage List for England records Cliff castle on Rosemullion 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 on Rosemullion Head is a 16th-century artillery fort built by the English government under Henry VIII to defend the south coast against potential French invasion. It is important as an example of early modern coastal defense architecture and is one of a series of Device Forts constructed during this period.
