And my mind always had it on the Northwest coast as well. Don't know why. I knew stone wasn't very prevalent, I guess I just pictured an old Roman fort or something.
Well, you figure we're looking at 1100 years of erosion, destruction, and rebuilding on that site. So what may have been an unapproachable fortress (and it may well not have been, it could have just been Cornwell's literary license at work) would have been subject to many changes in landscape over the centuries. But this area was never a part of Roman Britain.
And northwest? Come on, now.
Edit: See, I lack imagination or creativity, so this is why I like historical fiction. I can look these things up and they help me with the visualization.
