Headland halfway between Kimmeridge Bay and Chapman's pool. The location itself is extremely dangerous. There is a double tide and the location can only be safely accessed on very low tides for about an hour. Additionally, the rocks in the area are extremely slippery and there is constant falling debris from the cliff. Do not ever be tempted to try and enter any of the old mine adits in the area. Bands and nodules of Marcasite from the area can be cut, carved and polished.
