Maen Castle is an Iron Age promontory fort or 'cliff castle' close to Land's End in Cornwall. It is one of only two fortified sites in Cornwall where Early Iron Age pottery has been found. Excavations took place in 1939 and 1948-9 and about 300 sherds were unearthed. The defences comprise a stone rampart, ditch and counterscarp bank built across the neck of the headland, with almost sheer cliffs on two sides and a steep slope on the third. There are some indications that the site may have been occupied before these defences were constructed.

has abstract	Maen Castle, bei Sennen Harbour nördlich Land’s End in Cornwall ist das westlichste Promontory Fort Englands. Es ist ein gutes Beispiel für die in Cornwall etwa 30, auch „Cliff Castle“ genannten Befestigungen aus der Eisenzeit. Maen Castle hat, ähnlich wie Trevelgue Head zwei halbkreisförmige Gräben (Treryn Dinas hat drei) über den Hals einer Landzunge. Es ist eines der beiden ältesten datierbaren Promontory Forts in Cornwall und stammt etwa von 500 v. Chr. Ausgrabungen fanden in den Jahren 1939 und 1948–1949 statt. Die etwa 300 gefundenen Tonscherben decken den Zeitraum von 400 v. Chr. bis 400 n. Chr. ab. Nach der Legende soll hier der Riese „Myen Du“ gelebt haben.
