Re: Lesingey Round by Palden on Friday, 26 April 2019

Lesingey Round is technically classed as an iron age hillfort but finds go back to the mesolithic, and it is an important alignment centre in West Penwith. (One alignment involves Carn Les Boel, Boscawen-un, Trevarnon Round, Piran's Round, Men Gurta menhir and Stanon Circle on Bodmin Moor.) So it is probably more important than current records suggest. It is not a round. It probably accommodated 50-100 people in the iron age. It could well have been involved in the tin trade (not far from Ding Dong mine, Lescudjack Castle and St Michael's Mount). Paradoxically, it is now covered in trees and surrounded with open farmland, but in former times it would have been approx the reverse. Well worth a visit at bluebell time. Maintained by CASPN.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
