Camlann
Camlann[]
Camlann (Dawlish Warren in Devon) is a spit of land where a small Roman fort exists. It is the home of Merlin's boatman, Caddwg and the site of Arthur's last battle.
" We paused at the ridge’s crest while the evening light streamed over our shoulders to light the wide river valley that opened to the sea beneath us. This was Camlann. I had been here before, for this was the southern country below Dumnonian Isca where the local folk tattooed their faces blue. " Excalibur, Page 455.
" We stared down at our journey’s end. The River Exe flowed to the sea beneath us, but before it reached the ocean it formed a great wide sea-lake that was penned from the ocean by a narrow spit of sand. That spit was the place men called Camlann, and at its tip, just visible from our high perch, the Romans had built a small fortress. Inside the fort they had raised a great high becket of iron that had once held a fire at night to warn approaching galleys of the treacherous sandspit.
Now we gazed down at the sea-lake, the sandspit and the green shore. " Excalibur, Page 456
