Treryn Dinas, Iron Age promontory fort in St Levan, England
The fortification includes four defensive ramparts and ditches spread across a headland between Penberth Cove and Porthcurno, rising 30 meters above sea level.
Archaeological evidence indicates that Treryn Dinas served as a strategic military position during the Iron Age, with its innermost rampart reaching heights of 2 meters.
The fort represents early British defensive engineering, demonstrating how ancient communities utilized natural coastal features to establish protected settlements.
Visitors can access the site through a causewayed entrance near the South West Coast Path, with parking facilities available in the nearby village.
The outer rampart stands 6.1 meters tall and features a northern ditch, while the Logan Rock balances precariously on the promontory above the sea.
