Cornish Language Partnership.〕 is a coastal headland, southwest of the village of Rame in southeast Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 201 ''Plymouth & Launceston'' ISBN 978-0-319-23146-3〕 It is part of the larger Rame Peninsula.
==History and antiquities==
The natural site was used for a promontory fort ('cliff castle') in the Iron Age and the narrow neck of land was further excavated on the landward side with a central causeway, still visible. The eastern part retains traces of round house platforms, though damaged by wartime construction.〔Cornovia, Ancient sites of Cornwall & Scilly, 400BC - 100 AD, Craig Weatherill, 2009, Halsgrove〕 The headland has a prominent chapel, dedicated to St Michael, as are many early Christian headland sites in the region, accessible by a steep footpath. The chapel was first licensed for Mass in 1397 and is probably on the site of a much earlier, Celtic, hermitage. It remains as an intact shell and was originally lime-washed so that it stood out on the headland. Earl Ordulf, who was the owner of vast estates in the West Country and was the uncle of King Ethelred, gave Rame to Tavistock Abbey (which Ordulf had founded) in 981, meaning the parish was technically in Devon until the modern period.
