What is recorded here
Wheal Castle, also called Boswedden Mine, still stands as a ruin in Cornwall, a place where human hands once cut through living rock. The name suggests pride or defiance, as if the diggers believed they were building a fortress rather than a wound. Whatever metal they chased, they left behind a hollow marker for the patience of men and the patience of mountains.
Wheal Castle (Boswedden Mine) is shown as a ruins on the public map of Cornwall. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
