Ness

I'm not sure if a promontory is the same thing as a "ness". Dictionaries seem to all assign an element of height to a promontory, but many of the nesses around britain have very little or no height at all. It seems the important element of a "ness" is it's lateral projection into the sea, but a Promontory needs to have an abrupt change in altitude. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewcgirling (talk • contribs) 08:13, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Pylos

Under the "Promontories in history" section, consider including the fortification of the promontory on Pylos (Koryphasion) in the Peloponnese by the Athenians in 425 BC as this played a very significant role in the Peloponnesian War. Jackolow (talk) 22:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
