Camps. 



The following Camps have been examined: — Drim, in the 

 parish of S. Crowan; S. Elvan's, in the parish of S. Sithney ; 

 Carlydnack, in S. Mawnan ; one in 8. Manaccan, and one at 

 Penglodna, in the parish of Godolphin. 



1. Dbim. This camp is in a most dilapidated state, as the 

 western part has been completely demolished, and pits sunk for 

 the extraction of marl. The vallum still extends to about two- 

 thirds of the circumference of the camp, and is formed of stones 

 and earth. Its width is about five feet, its height ranges from 

 eight to twelve feet, except in the part where the foss still 

 remains, and then it reaches fifteen feet. The foss deeply 

 covered with thorns and furze has an extent of about 30 yards, 

 hardly a tenth of its former dimensions. Its width is, in its 

 fullest part, from twelve to fifteen feet. The circumference of 

 the camp is three hundred yards. 



2. Camp at S. Elvan's. Its diameter is 56 yards, and the 

 surface is perfectly level ; a path leads right through the middle. 

 Vallum o-feet deep on the south, 2^ feet high on the inside. 

 Foss 10 yards wide, 8 feet high. The foss remains from N.W. 

 to N. for a third of its former extent, and can be traced as far 

 round as the south. A farm-yard now occupies the east. 



3. Carlydnack. This is in almost a perfect state, one of 

 the best that I have ever seen. It occupies about an acre of 

 ground area, is almost a perfect round, and tradition assigns its 

 formation to the Danes. A narrow lane leads to the sea-side, 

 and derives its name from the proximity of the camp to the water.
