Castle Dore

Castle Dore is an Iron Age settlement first occupied between the fourth and first centuries BC. Returning west from Golant to the B3296 and turn north for a short distance and the site is on the right side of the road. No formal right of way to the site is in place and the owner's permission should be sought. The site can be reached by parking in a lay-by south of the site and the monument is reached by a short walk back along the B3269 road to a gateway on the west side of the fort.

The defences are made up of a circular rampart within an oval one. The ramparts were constructed from material dug from external ditches. Pottery from excavations was of late Iron Age type. The area around the site was the scene of a civil war battle in 1644.
