Check out this one: Janjira Fort in India. NOT it...but has a lot of the same characteristics. The one I'm looking for is smaller, not in India and I'd guess, quite a bit older.

I assume the Yonaguni monument has a bit too much water for you, too.  There were several forts built by the Portuguese and Dutch in Indonesia that might fit the description, though I haven't found specific reference to one built on a small island by itself. Spice Island forts usually were built on larger islands, defending the spice plantations. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Janjira Fort reminds me of Alcatraz, in an isolation sort of way.

This reminds me of the William Pené DuBois novel, "The Twenty-One Balloons", written for middle-schoolers. It's a fantasy about an island full of diamonds being blown away when Krakatoa erupted in 1883.

There is something here that reminds me of the legend of http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/dra.../page17.html The Bells of Aberdovey - but that site is rather heavy reading! But what is Aberdovey doing in the Roman section? Simple, Aberdovey is only a couple of miles from http://www.roman-britain.org/places/maglona.htm Maglona now known as Pennal. Anyone interested in Roman Britain might find the second website quite interesting. Bill. PS I'll have to work on inserting links properly! B. Edited by bilnic

My mention of Cantre Gwaelod off the coast of Wales might be legend, but legends often have a trace of fact behind them. At certain states of the tide, remains of a plantation/forest can be seen, and the "coast road" of only a couple of centuries ago ran through what is now sea. There is much coastal erosion in the area.
I'm hoping that someone can come up with a location in east Asia.
Bill.

No problem, sometimes making searches from a different part of the world gives other results.
I'll try again later.
