 A HISTORY OF CORNWALL described the bowl and jug as made of tin, but they are of pewter and lead respectively. A full account with a plan of the camp is given by Dr. Borlase in the Antiquities of Cornwall, p. 316, and for a further description and interpretation of the inscription see R.I.C. (1890), x. 237, etc. This camp is also square-sided with rounded corners, and is overlooked by Pencair Castle (see Breage, List II.). It is now nearly obliterated [Borlase, 316 and plan ; Lysons, ccxlvii. ; Gilbert; R.I.C. 2gth Rep. (1847), p. 39 and plan, O.S. Ixix. 14] LIST IV OTHER EARTHWORKS BRADDOCK AT TAPHOUSE. Dr. Borlase in searching for traces of a Roman road between Lostwithiel and Liskeard records the existence in his day of a long mound at this point which he concluded was a successful result of his inquiry. He mentions a similar mound between Lostwithiel and Golant. Little or no trace of either now remains [Borlase, 333, O.S. xxxv. 10] LANREATH. ' Giants Hedge.' A great mound of earth formerly extended from the river at West Looe to the upper waters of Lerrin Creek on the Fowey a distance of nearly eight miles as the crow flies. It has been destroyed in several places, but is still clearly traceable in the parishes of Lanreath and Pelynt. Dr. Borlase and Polwhele consider it was a Roman road. No other suggestion as to its origin has been put forward unless we admit the local saying : The devil one day having nothing to do, Built a great hedge from Lerrin to Looe [Borlase, Nat. Hist. 325 ; Polwhele, 80 ; Couch, 79 ; Gilbert, sub Talland ; R.I.C. 28th Rep. (1846), 19 ; Lysons, ccxlvi.] ST. AGNES AT GOONVREA. St. Agnes Beacon is a steep lonely hill, 629 feet high, near the cliff, north-east of Redruth. On either side a narrow valley cuts into the land. On the land side of the hill a trench and mound run from one valley to the other, a distance of about two miles. The enclosed space is nearly two square miles. This trench was formerly called the ' Kledh.' It has many features in common with the majority of the cliff castles, but its enormous comparative size places it by itself, pending more informa- tion. Borlase and Polwhele both considered it a Roman defensive work against an enemy landing on the cliffs under the beacon, the one suggesting Danes, the other Irish. It is much damaged by building and mining works, but can still be traced in many parts. Locally it is considered to be the work of Giant Bolster [Borlase, 314 ; Lysons, ccxlvi. ; R.I.C. 29th Rep. (1847), p. 28 ; Pol. bk. i. ch. xi. p. 205] LIST V PLANE-AN-GWARIOW GWENNAP. Gwennap Pit. It is doubtful if this place was ever used for plays. John Wesley preached here, and it has since been used almost exclusively for that purpose. It is not marked in the ordnance map [Gilbert ; Daniel, 1 94] LANDEWEDNACK. Near the church. Not marked in the ordnance map and not traceable. Inserted on the authority of Polwhele, bk. ii. ch. iv. p. 192. Polwhele was vicar of Man- accan in this neighbourhood NEWLYN EAST. About J of a mile north of Church Town on west side of the road ; modern PERRANZABULOE. ' Perran Round.' This was used for plays and sports, but may have had an earlier origin. The plan in Dr. Borlase's Natural History shows a most noticeable foss outside [Borlase, Nat.
