LESCADDOCK CASTLE, an ancient circular camp in the SW of Cornwall; on a hill above Chyandour, in the NE vicinity of Penzance. It is considerably obliterated, yet still possesses interest; it commands a fine view of the town and harbour of Penzance; and it is approached by a lane a little E of the r. station.
