and Morwenstowe, and back along the sea coast to PoundstocJc, 

 where there is a large single-dyked oval " Ring " at the head of a 

 valley leading down to Millhook (or Melhuac) Haven, on Trebar. 

 foot farm, measuring about 180 paces in length by 100 paces in 

 width. From here we walk along the coast road to St. Gennys 

 parish, past a small camp at Trenayor, on the Dizzard headland, 

 and on to Tresparrett Posts, where we find the outlines of two partly 

 destroyed ramparted sites, one of which, situated near the road 

 and now covered with furze, is square, and measures 150 by 170 

 feet, and the other called Peyigoldhury, a little larger, is on the top 

 of a high bank about half-a-mile away at the head of a wooded 

 valley that runs inland from Crackington Haven. Following the 

 highway, and on its seaward side in a line with the first of these 

 sites, is a remarkable chain of nine large burial, or beacon, 

 barrows, with Tremorle Ring just below them commanding the 

 Boscastle creek. Continuing westward we next come to 

 Trenalehury '•'■Ringr in Tintagel parish, on rising ground over- 

 looking St. Nectan's Kieve Valley and Bossiney Beach, and the 

 cliff camp at Willapark, and then we pass on to the Tregear 

 ^'■Rounds,'''' in St. Kew, which can be seen fi-om the railway 

 station at Port Isaac Eoad. This Tregear is a well preserved 

 double vallum earthwork. It stands within a field that 

 adjoins the road and slopes gently towards the south-east. Both 

 its ramparts are oval in contour, the inner one enclosing a 

 space 240 by 315 feet, and having an encircling rampart 

 averaging 10 feet high and a ditch 8 feet wide, and the outer 

 a rampart 15 to 20 feet high with a ditch 12 feet wide. The 

 space between them is about 70 feet wide. Tregear has only 

 one entrance, and the approach to it is fortified by an extended 

 circular embanked area. About a mile off on the west and 

 south, in fields by the side of highways, can be traced the faint 

 outlines of Trevinniclc and Polrode Rounds^ also in St. Kew, which 

 cover areas of about 240 by 250 feet. From Trevinnick we 

 move in the direction of Eoughtor (1312 feet high) and Brown 

 "Willy (1375 feet high) and note the small but well preserved 

 station called Castle Gojf, near Lanteglos-by-Camelford church 

 Go:ff has an internal diameter of 144 feet, and is fenced by a 14 

 feet high furze-clad dyked rampart. Close to it, on its eastern 

 and western sides, are rounded hillocks, and a ramped space
