The largest of many slate quarries between Trebarwith and Tintagel. The pinnacle may look like a sea stack, but it has been left behind from quarrying activity which has removed the whole cliff face because it is made of inferior quality slate. The slate would have been winched down to waiting boats below. http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/mines/slate/tintagel.htm
