What is recorded here
Dodman Point holds a later prehistoric cliff castle, two round barrows and a medieval field system, proving the coast has served human ambition for millennia. The castle clings to the cliff edge like a defiant fist, while the barrows wait beneath the grass like buried drums. Medieval ridges still cut the land, suggesting farms and feuds repeated long after the first builders left.
The National Heritage List for England records Later prehistoric cliff castle, two prehistoric round barrows, medieval field system, and associated remains on Dodman Point 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
