Round called Lescudjack Castle

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Lescudjack Castle is a round hillfort in Cornwall, England, marked as a scheduled monument. The earthworks still stand where people shaped the land long before written records, suggesting defense, ritual or ordinary survival on an open slope. Listing protects the remains but does not guarantee entry, so the castle keeps its distance and waits for a visitor who comes with care rather than entitlement.
The National Heritage List for England records Round called Lescudjack Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built in the 13th century, Lescudjack Castle was held by the de Lescudjack family, a prominent local family in Cornish history. It is remembered for its strategic position in the Penwith Peninsula and as an example of early medieval defensive architecture in Cornwall.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
