 A HISTORY OF CORNWALL ill; Maclean, ii. 5 and plan, 80, O.S. xix. 4], This is marked in the ordnance map as Dameliock, the castle which figures in the King Arthur legend (see Hah, sub Dun- dagell), but on what authority ? See Helsbury Beacon, Michaelstow. There is a camp called Demelza in St. Wenn, and see Hah (sub St. Tudy). Excavated in 1902 by Messrs. Burnard and Baring-Gould. Slingstones, rusty iron and pottery were found, but not enough evidence to justify any conclusions as to date or origin, except that there was no trace of Roman influence. ST. STEPHEN IN BRANNEL.

In Drew, ii. 287, this is identified with the 'forte ' mentioned by Leland as being ' a myle by west of Penare in the paroch of St. Gorans,' but it is more probable that Leland was referring to the Dodman (see St. Goran in List I) [Tonkin ; Drew, ii. 287, 289 ; Daniel, 176, O.S.
