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.

 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]

 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

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
