Located on the summit of Castle Downs near St Columb Major, Castle an Dinas (East) is one of Cornwall’s largest and most impressive hillforts dating from around the fourth to first centuries BCE.

Hillforts like this are thought to have been a focus for the community, symbols of the wealth and power of the tribe, and a central place for social ceremonies, trade and ritual.

It is one of 19 historic places cared for by Cornwall Heritage Trust and is completely free for everyone to visit all year round.

St Eval is the current Heritage Guardian of this historic site.
