What is recorded here

The Rumps Cliff Castle is one of the most dramatic in Cornwall because three lines of banks and ditches cut off a headland that rears up into hillocks. Pottery and other artefacts from the later Iron Age and Roman period suggest people watched the wild water or kept something valuable behind those earthworks. The nearby coast still holds stories of smuggling caves and watery graves, reminding us that the sea has always been both a road and a trap.

The Rumps Cliff Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Cornwall. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
