Ringarounds, Veryan

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Gwendra, Veryan Castle

In the civil parish of Veryan.
In the historic county of Cornwall (Modern Authority of Cornwall, 1974 county of Cornwall).

PastScape record reads 'Multivallate round on a projecting spur on the east side of a deep steep sided valley. Although suggested to be of medieval date, it is a classic example of the Cornish round.' King and Salter seem to have no doubt about medieval use, but site is well outside village and not associated with roads and footpaths and seems unlikely to have any long term medieval use as a castle in my view. Leland appears to mention this as a single ditched fort in the parish of Gerrans.
NB A round is an Iron Age agricultral settlement restricted to western Britain see http://www.eng-h.gov.uk/mpp/mcd/mcdtop1.htm
