Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Two later prehistoric cliff castles on Kelsey Head and west of Porth Joke, and two round barrows 610m west and 760m south west of Porth Joke remain a scheduled monument in Cornwall, England. The distance between the barrows and Porth Joke is exact, but the lives inside the castles have faded. Perhaps people watched the sea from those cliffs, marked territory or buried their dead beside the coast. The stones still hold that much of the world before written memory.
