Full description
The ICS place-names index quoting John Leland, notes 'Revier Castell'. This was ". . . Almost at the est part of the mouth of Hayle River on the north side. Now, as sum think, dround with sand. This was Theodore's Castelle" (b1, b2). This is probably a reference to a round (b3). There are no remains (h1).
The location of the possible round is more likely to be Riveria Towans (6).
