A Paper was read from Mr. H. Michell Whitley, F.Gr.S., 

 on "Cliff Castles in Perranzabuloe and Crantock." 



After describing the traces of an entrenchment which once 

 existed on Ligger Point, at the north end of Perran beach, 

 about midway between the summit of the headland and the 

 engine house of Penhale Mine, apparently not a very formidable 

 one, Mr. Whitley describes Penhale Point and Kelsey Head 

 Castles as follows :— 



Pi!)NHALE Point Cliff Castle. 



A half-mile further north is the second of the two headlands, 

 running out boldly into the sea, and terminating in a grand 

 mass of weather-beaten grey rock, torn and fissured below with 

 the ceaseless wash of the Atlantic rollers, and fretted away above 

 by countless years of rain and tempest.
