Castle Goff

Castle Goff is an enclosure about south-west of Camelford, in Cornwall, England. It is a scheduled monument.

Location and description

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. They are most common in Cornwall.
It is situated on the southern edge of a ridge between two tributaries of the River Allen. Its diameter is about. The rampart is above the interior, and above the external ditch, which is about wide and deep.
From the original western entrance, which is now blocked, there is a causeway to an annexe to the west. The annexe, north to south, is a rampart and outer ditch; the ends do not encroach on the ditch of the main earthworks, suggesting that it was a later construction. The rampart of the annexe is partly incorporated into the present field boundary.
Another round, Delinuth Camp, is about to the north-west.
