Dodman Point

At 374 feet (114 m) Dodman Point near Mevagissey is the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast. It was originally known as the Deadman or Deadman's Point, which names are still sometimes used. It hosts the remains of an Iron Age promontory fort. At its seaward end is a large granite cross, erected to help protect shipping from this headland. It is mentioned in the shanty Spanish Ladies.
