Dozmary Pool

Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

Fieldnotes

Having lived in the area I had heard all about the legends of Dozmary Pool being bottomless and the last resting place for Excalibur.

A pre-teenage swimming party by myself and friends in 1983 in a bid to search for excalibur revealed that the pool was not bottomless and the bed littered with bottles of wine.

A local legend has it that the name of the pool comes from Dozy Mary, a lazy minded girl who was murdered here.
