Dynas Cove
Dynas Cove submitted by Bladup : Dynas Cove, The place name suggests a cliff castle and the only place that would suit such a site is Black Head (See photo) but there's no evidence there or anywhere around Dinas Cove of any Cliff Castles, Maybe the name comes from Chynhalls Point Fort just up the coast to the North, Black Head is a beautiful place nevertheless (Vote or comment on this photo)
Doubtful site of an Iron Age cliff castle on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall
