Carn Lês Boel

Carn Lês Boel is an Iron Age Promontory Fort (also called Cliff-castle) in the south of Nanjizal or Mill Bay in Porthgwarra southwest of Penzance , not far from Land's End in Cornwall in England .

The small foothills fort is located on the signposted south-west coastal path in an impressive setting. The remains of a shallow ditch and a wall can be seen. Two large menhirs (only one standing upright) probably mark the old entrance. There are no signs of settlement in the area of ​​the Cap and there are doubts as to whether the ramparts and moats have been interpreted correctly.

Somewhat away from the rugged granite coast lies the “Higher Bosistow Cliff Tumulus ” and by the sea the “Lower Bosistow Cliff Cave” (cave).
