THE RUINS OF KING ARTHUR'S CASTLE: TINTAGEU, ENGLAND 



Of the earliest castle there remains little trace. Briton and Saxon had their strongholds 

 here, but the few ruined battlements left today are probably no earlier than Norman times. 

 Scores of sheep pasture fearlessly on the slippery slopes which plunge so swiftly to the sea. 

 The whole "island" seems once to have been within the, fortified area that was Arthur's 

 stronghold. There are remains of a small chapel, a well, and a so-called hermit's cave on 

 the plateau which forms the high ground of the "island."
