Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Lescudjack Castle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Aug 2008. From Trengwainton Carn there are splendid views across Mounts Bay. I took this photo, ostensibly of St Michael's Mount, using my camera's maximum zoom from the sunny but windy summit of Trengwainton Carn. Upon closer inspection later on, I found that I had inadvertently photographed Lescudjack Castle in Penzance - it lies roughly half way between The Mount and Trengwainton Carn.

Mayon Cliff cairn
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Mayon Cliff cairn submitted by JimChampion on 31st Aug 2008. The cairn on Mayon Cliff, not listed as a scheduled monument by English Heritage. It is in fairly bad condition, but still recognisable on this exposed headland where the elements and visitor pressure keep the vegetation right down. The island in the distance is the Brisons and Cape Cornwall can be seen poking in from the right.

Inkpen Long Barrow
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Berkshire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Jul 2005
Inkpen Long Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 24th Jul 2005. A view of the east end of the barrow against the backdrop of rainclouds on a showery summer afternoon. The macarbe double-gibbet makes the site easy to find from the valley below. The erosion due to people walking the length of the barrow is visible in this picture: the info board says that various measures have been taken to try and limit wear and tear by the visitors to this great viewpoint.
