What is recorded here
Ruined building, Kenidjack Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Cornwall, England. Perhaps stones still stand where a tower once watched the coast. Maybe people climbed those steps before the roof disappeared. Imagine rain moving through the hollow chambers like a forgotten tenant.

Kenidjack Castle was built in the late 15th century by the St. Aubyn family, a prominent Cornish landowning family. It is remembered as a historic example of a small defensive manor house and is associated with the folklore of the "Kenidjack Giant."
