Largin Castle

Largin Castle is a contour hillfort and scheduled monument in Cornwall presumed to date from the Iron Age [1]. Largin Castle is situated approximately 4.5 kilometres west of Dobwalls, on a hill spur above the north-facing southern slope of the Fowey valley, at an elevation of 130 meters above sea level [1]. It is described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as having a complex shape occupying an area of 1.8 hectares [1]. The hillfort has an outer rampart and ditch enclosure with an entrance at its south [1]. Within this, a smaller inner oval enclosure, also defined by ramparts and ditch, is offset to the north and occupies some 3/4 of the interior [1].
