Full description
Radford's site B forms part of his alleged early medieval monastery which, with site C (23165.43), was considered to be of a single phase of activity (h1, b6). The area was built on two terraces similar to those used on site F (23165.46). The upper terrace was constructed with a rough wall and an excavation into the rock, levelled by backfilling with earth and rubble. There were two rooms, with the subsequent addition of a projecting room to cover the junction of the two buildings. The lower terrace was constructed in a similar way and was occupied by a single large room built late in the sequence on the site and to which two smaller rooms were added to the south at a later date. A rock-hewn pool and well (23165.56) are situated at the end of a path down a slope to the west (b8). It is now thought that these structures are medieval in date and represent part of the settlement of the builders of the castle (b16). Site B is clearly visible on aerial photographs (p5, p6) and was plotted during thhe Cornwall NMP. The monument was included in the Schedule on 9/10/1981 and the scheduling updated on 18/11/1996.
