 A HISTORY OF CORNWALL ST. KEW. At Tregilders [R.I.C. (1890), x. 231, O.S. xxv. 4] At Trevinnick [R.I.C. (1890), x. 229; R.I.C. (1902), xv. in, O.S. xix. 7]. These two are classed as Roman in Mr. lago's scheme [Maclean, ii. 80] At Polrode [R.I.C. (1902), xv. in, O.S. xx. 5] ST. MARTIN IN MENEAGE. 'The Gear' [Pol. 125 ; Drew, ii. 451 ; Daniel, 198, O.S. Ixxvi. 1 6] At Caervallack [Drew, ii. 451 ; Daniel, 198, O.S. Ixxvi. 16] At Tremaine [O.S. Ixxvii. 13] ST. MEWAN. Near Trelower [R.I.C. 2gth Rep. (1847), P- 3 1 an( ^ P' an O.S. ^ r 5] ST. MINVER. At Dinham. There is no trace of a camp here, but Polwhele (p. 108) says: ' We observe in the parish of St. Minver a Roman camp on a little tongue of land washed by the Camel. It is called the Dinas.' The identification is hypothetical, and see Maclean, iii. 7 ST. NEOT. At Goonzion Down [O.S. xxxv. 2] ST. STEPHEN IN BRANNEL. Near Langerth [Nanzearth, O.S. I. 6] ST. TEATH. Near Castle Goff. See Lanteglos ST. WENN. At Demelza [Pol. bk. i. ch. xi. p. 210, O.S. xxxiii. 10] SANCREED. At Trannack Downs [Thomas] SITHNEY. St. Elvans, now a small field, roughly circular with a ditch on the north side, called the ' Garland ' (Caer-Lan ?). There is a local tradition that it was once a graveyard. It is the property of the churchwardens [O.S. Ixxvi. 9] SOUTH PETHERWIN. 'Battle Ring,' at Brockle [R.I.C. (1902), xv. 113, O.S. xvi. 16] STOKE CUMSLAND. On Kit Hill. This earthwork is of a different character, and perhaps origin, from the types of the class. It is however included here until digging, or some other source of information, afford more reliable knowledge. It is the site of a legendary battle [O.S. xxix. 7] STRATTON. At Binnomay. Stated by Dr. Borlase and Polwhele to be a Roman camp. But certainly the site of a later building, as William of Worcester says that ' Castle Bynamy ' was standing in his time, and was the property of Sir John Colshill or Colville W. of Worcester ; Borlase, 312 ; Pol. 107 ; Lysons, ccxlvii ; R.I.C. 34th Rep. (1852), p. 2O and plan, O.S. v. 4] ' The Castle,' half-mile north by east of Stratton. Not marked in ordnance map [R.I.C. 34th Rep. (1852), p. 21 and plan] ' Yerdbury,' at Hunthill [Lysons, ccxlvii. (and ? Grews Hill) ; R.I.C. 34th Rep. (1852), p. 21 and plan (as Hardbury) ; (1902), xv. 113, O.S. iv. 9] TALLAND. At Bury Park, Trelaske near Kilminorth [Gilbert; Bond, 165; R.I.C. 28th Rep.

Ixxvi. 7] WHITSTONE. At Hilton Wood [Lysons, ccxlvii. ; R.I.C. (1902), xv. 112, O.S. vi. 13] 'Froxston Castle' ,,113 PROBABLE ROMAN CAMPS BODMIN. ' Tregear ' at Nanstallon. No systematic investigation has been made, but various objects, many of them of undoubted Roman origin, have been found here from time to time. A full list and description are given in R.I.C. (1890), x. 211, etc. The camp is square-sided with rounded corners. It lies low near the river, and is completely overlooked by Dunmere Woods (see Bodmin Sup.) [Daniel, 143 ; R.I.C. 3151 Rep. (1849), p. 21 and plan ; Maclean, i. 114 and plan] ST. ERTH. At Bosence. No systematic search has been made. In 1756 the farmer found and cleared out a pit 36 feet deep in the west corner, in which a bowl with an inscription on the bottom, a jug and other articles, probably Roman, were found. Dr. Borlase 470
