Lescudjack Castle

The hill on the left-hand side is noted as having once had on its summit that "notable treble intrenchment of earth called Lescaddock Castle, that name referring to Cadock, earl of Cornwall, whose broad camp or castle of war it was, as tradition faith." Some write the name, Lescudjack, and others, Lesgud-zhek; the latter explained by Borlase as the "Castle of the Bloody Field." The provincial name of it was "The Giant's Rounds." The only portion of this fortification now remaining is a large raised circular mound, enclosing several fields. The mound is nearly perfect, and there is a pathway outside it which was probably the site of the original intrenchment.
