Castle Goff

Castle Goff is an enclosure about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Camelford, in Cornwall [1]. It is a scheduled monument [1]. Castle Goff is considered to be a "round": these are small circular embanked enclosures, with one entrance; they date from the late Iron Age to the early post-Roman period [1]. They are most common in Cornwall [1]. It is situated on the southern edge of a ridge between two tributaries of the River Allen [1]. Its diameter is about 60 metres (66 yd) [1]. The rampart is 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) above the interior, and 3.5 metres (11 ft) above the external ditch, which is about 8 metres (26 ft) wide and 0.8 metres (2.6 ft) deep [1]. From the original western entrance, which is now blocked, there is a causeway to an annexe to the west [1].
