Treryn Dinas is a promontory fort situated on the Cornish coast near Mousehole, dating to the Iron Age. The site occupies a naturally defended headland, its landward side protected by multiple massive ramparts and ditches that cut across the promontory to isolate it from the mainland. The fort's prominent coastal position and substantial defensive works suggest it served as both a place of refuge and a centre of local control during the later prehistory of southwest Britain. The monument remains substantially intact and forms an important example of Iron Age coastal fortification in Cornwall.
