Castallack is a hamlet in the civil parish of St Buryan, Lamorna and Paul in west Cornwall, England, UK. It is on a minor road between Sheffied and Lamorna.[1]
Castallack lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
Castallack Roundago (grid reference SW44822540) is a good example of a Romano-British round despite it having been partly destroyed in the 19th century.[2]
Granite from the Castallack quarries was used mainly for gravestones, activity finished in the mid-1980s.[3]
