Asset Overview

Lesingey Round is a hillfort near Penzance in Cornwall, and likely dates to the Iron Age. The monument consists of a roughly circular enclosure surrounded by ramparts with a ditch on the outside. From the partially buried ditch, the ramparts stand over 4.5m high in places. In other areas the ramparts have been damaged. The site sits atop a prominent hill with panoramic views, and is covered by a 'crown' of trees that cover the site. In this model the trees have been digitally removed to allow for a different understanding of the site. This 3D survey was undertaken by the [Curatorial Research Centre](https://curatorialresearch.com) on behalf of Penwith Landscape Partnership (PLP). The site is owned and maintained by the [Cornish Ancient Sites Protection Network](https://cornishancientsites.com/) (CASPN).
