 CORNWALL Kelly Rounds (about I m. S. of St. Kew Station) 13 sometimes also called Killibury. Mr. Baring-Gould has unhesitatingly identified Callington with the Celliwig or Killiwic of Arthurian tradition ; but there is certainly in- sufficient warrant for this. The Kelly Rounds have a stronger claim. An ancient Welsh Triad speaks of the three chief palaces of Arthur as Caerleon-on-Usk, Celliwig " in Devon or Cornwall," and Pcnrhyn in the N. At that time Devon and Cornwall were really inter- changeable terms for this part of the country. The name Celliwig is clearly connected with the Cornish ii//i, meaning woods or groves ; and it is remarkable that in this very district we have Kelly Green, Kelly Wells, Kelly Brae, Bokelly, Pengelly, Kellan Head, Calliwith, and other names clearly formed from ^i//i. The Kelly Rounds have been cut into two parts by a road, and so considerably effaced ; there are traces of two ramparted circles with ditches, and to the W. are the remains of a further pro- tective earthwork. The story of an archer who shot an arrow with his long-bow from Celliwig into Ireland, would far more probably be told of a place like this, near the coast and actually facing the S. of Ireland, than of an inland place such as Callington. But if Celliwig was merely a large district, Callington may very likely have been a part of it. Kemoyti (i m. N. of Truro) is believed by Borlase to be named from Ceinwen, daughter of Brychan.
