It will be observed that there was very little difference in 

 the value of real property in 1815 and in 1884. 



Pbe-historio Remains. 

 There are no pre-historic remains in this parish except a few 

 small circular tumuli which abound on this and the neighbouring 

 hills. They vary from ten to fifteen feet high, and from ten to 

 twenty-five yards in diameter. They all have a small depression 

 in the centre. One in the adjoining parish of Lesnewith was 

 opened some twenty years ago by the late Mr. Cook of the 

 Saturday Review. In the centre was discovered a rude cist built 

 of stone, in which was found human remains, but no weapon 

 or ornament of any kind. A large heap of stones covered the cist. 

 There are not now any ancient christian monuments in the parish. 



Ancient Eoads and Tracks. 

 The great road leading from Stratton and the north to the 

 south through Camelford, enters this parish from Poundstock at 

 Sandhill Barrow, and traverses it to within a mile of Titchbarrow 

 when it enters the parish of Davidstow. At " Cross Eoads," 

 this road is intersected by a road leading from Warbstow Beacon 

 to the road on Tresparret Down leading from Stratton coastwise 

 through Boscastle and Trevaiga to Tintagel, always a place of 

 vast importance. There are various other roads and tracks of 

 minor importance which cross the parish in various directions.
