Redcliff Castle, Cornwall

Redcliff Castle is a later prehistoric cliff castle near St Eval, Cornwall. It is situated on a promontory projecting west into the Atlantic north of Mawgan Porth. The cliff castle is roughly crescent-shaped, its irregular outline reflecting the indented course of the cliffs. Around the landward side it has two concentric ramparts, each with an external ditch, running north-south across the neck of the promontory. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
