Castle an Dinas, St Columb Major
Castle an Dinas is an Iron Age hillfort at the summit of Castle Downs near St Columb Major in Cornwall, England, UK () and is considered one of the most important hillforts in the southwest of Britain. It dates from around the 3rd to 2nd century BCE and consists of three ditch and rampart concentric rings, above sea level. During the early 1960s it was excavated by a team led by Dr. Bernard Wailes of the University of Pennsylvania during two seasons of excavation.
==Arthurian legend==
Traditionally, Castle an Dinas is the hunting lodge (hunting seat) of King Arthur, from which he rode in the Tregoss Moor hunt.〔Anthony D. Hippisley Coxe, Haunted Britain, pg. 21, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York 1973〕 A stone in St. Columb allegedly bears the four footprints of his horse made whilst hunting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A Gazetteer of Arthurian Topographic Folklore )〕
The earliest written history was written by William of Worcester during his visit to Cornwall in 1478. He noted that legend says that the fort was the place where Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall and husband of King Arthur's mother, died.
