III.—Excavations at Chun Castle in Penwith, Cornwall (Second Report)

Abstract

The investigation of the interior of the castle in 1925 resulted in the discovery of a series of furnaces in front of the well, the exploration of a circular house east of the well, and partial excavation of an area near the wall on the east side of the castle. The accumulation of debris from the wall, however, prevented continuation of this last piece of work right up to the wall itself. In 1927, therefore, with the kind permission of Mr. N. Matthews, who, since the first exploration in 1925, had acquired the property on which Chun Castle stands, it was decided to conduct further excavations in order to ascertain the nature of the site by the east wall and to investigate another portion of the interior of the castle.
