CORNUBIANA.. 35 1 



4. Camp at S. Manaccan. This is peculiarly interesting, 

 as it forms with the one at Bosence, the second of the two 

 recorded instances of oblong camps with rounded ends. It has 

 suffered terrible usage from the necessities of agriculture, and 

 has been once more ploughed this year. I was greatly 

 struck when examining it to find out that the site of the similar 

 camp at Bosence was distinctly visible, though at a great 

 distance, and seems to imply that they were intended to be 

 connected by signals of smoke. I may here remark that it is 

 very interesting to notice that every camp but one that I have 

 visited can be seen from another, so that in times of emergency 

 signals could be easily made between them. 



5. Gear (Camp) at Pengilley, in Godolphin. Here the 

 name, position, and a very tiny portion of the vallum alone 

 remain. 



Baerow at Pengwedna — known by the name of the 

 war-barrow. This is a very large grass-grown structure, portions 

 of which have been removed by successive tillage. In removing 

 the surface, a quantity of greasy material was found. 



Amphitheatre at S. Sithnet. This still possesses the old 

 Cornish name for an Amphitheatre — Plain-an-Gwarre, and is 

 interesting from its proximity to the birth-place of the last 

 author of a Cornish miracle — the Creation — William Jordan. 

 The Amphitheatre is hardly anything more than a site, as a 

 public road passes through it. A hedge may have been one of 

 its boundaries. There is a large open level space in the centre, 

 which was possibly the scenarium. This places indicates the 

 importance of studying Cornish names, as Plain-an-Gwarre 

 plainly shows its origin. Another Plain-an-Gwarre is known to 

 exist, at all events in name, but is at present, as far as I know, 

 undescribed. 



Hut Circle. 



A very large and perfect hut-circle has been found and 

 examined below Black Eock, in S. Crowan. It has two entrances, 

 one on the west and the other on the south, and its diameter is 

 41 feet. The outer circumference is of stone, some of which are 

 of large size. The western opening is 4^ feet wide, the other 

 is 4|- feet. The height of the interior of the ring is 3J feet, the
