Richard Gendall wrote about a raven flying and
hovering above part of Cornwall. "She passes over a ruined hillfort."
There are more than eighty hillforts in Cornwall. Which hillfort did Gendall
mean? Here's a big one - Castle-an-Dinas. "There is a memorial that was
erected by a king in memory of his son, 1500 years ago." What stone is
that? Here's a very old inscribed stone (called "Writing Stone"), but
it's not near that castle. "Here's a church on the bank of the estuary."
Is this that church - St Winnow by the River Fowey? At night-time the nightjar purrs.
I've never seen a nightjar - and what sound is that? "She went on until
she hovered over the rapids (Golitha)." The she went home.
