| 词条 | Largin Castle |
| 释义 |
Largin Castle is situated approximately {{convert|4.5|km}} west of Dobwalls, on a hill spur above the north-facing southern slope of the River Fowey valley, at an elevation of {{convert|130|meter}} above sea level. It is described in the Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland as having a complex shape occupying an area of {{convert|1.8|ha}}. The hillfort has an outer rampart and ditch enclosure with an entrance at its south. Within this, a smaller inner oval enclosure, also defined by ramparts and ditch, is offset to the north and occupies some 3/4ths of the interior. To the north and east of the hillfort, the valley drops away steeply to the Fowey and to a tributary stream, both at circa {{convert|50|meter}} elevation; to the south-west the land rises slowly to a local maximum of {{convert|193|meter}} at a distance of {{convert|690|meter}}. A linear earthwork thought to be associated with the hillfort is found at the south-west, at the {{convert|190|meter}} contour, running for approximately {{convert|850|meter}} first due north, and then north-north-west.[2][3] The castle enclosure is overgrown by an ancient oak woodland; coniferous planting surrounds the site. The Atlas of Hillforts specifies the condition of the site as good.[4][2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Largin Castle – Iron Age Hillfort|website=The Cornish Bird|url=https://cornishbirdblog.com/2019/03/12/largin-castle-iron-age-hillfort/|publisher=Elizabeth Dale|access-date=13 March 2019}} {{coord|50.45188|N|4.58040|W|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=EN0626 Largin Castle, Cornwall|last1=Lock|first1=G|last2=Ralston|first2=I|date=2017|website=Atlas of Hillforts of Britain and Ireland [ONLINE]|publisher=Oxford University Department of Archaeology|url=https://hillforts.arch.ox.ac.uk/?query=Atlas_of_Hillforts_4166_0%2CMain_Atlas_Number%2C0626}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Magic Map|publisher=Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs|url=https://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?chosenLayers=backdropDIndex,backdropIndex,europeIndex,vmlBWIndex,25kBWIndex,50kBWIndex,250kBWIndex,miniscaleBWIndex,baseIndex&box=215165:63765:218181:65418&useDefaultbackgroundMapping=false|access-date=13 March 2019}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Aerial Photographs and archaeology |publisher=Cornwall Council|url=https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/30182731/aerial-survey.pdf|access-date=13 March 2019}} 1 : Hill forts in Cornwall |
