3/60 Pound at approximately 200 metres west of Godolphin House
GV II
Pound, incoporating an earlier structure, possibly a gun powder store. Indeterminate date possibly C17 in origin but converted to pound circa C18 or early C19. Cyclopean un-dressed granite rubble with some dressed granite as jambstone to storage chambers, lintels and 1 gate post. Rectangular pound with gate to east, its south and east walls extending the external pound was made. The ruin is puzzling; remains of 2 or more small slab-roofed cells can be seen surrounded by a mass of earth-bound masonry. The most complete cell is entered from the east face. Sir Francis Godolphin was at the forefront of mining technology in the late C16-early C17. The small separate cells and surrounding bulk suggest a use such as the storage of black powder.
