I was in search of a fine fougou or prehistoric tunnel which my books tell me exists in the grounds of this beautiful farmhouse where famous Penwith antiquarian Dr Wm Borlase was born in 1696. I tried to ask the owner for permission to take a look at the tunnel but failed to receive an answer at the farmhouse door. Luckily, a gentleman who has lived behind the house for 3 years as a builder showed me where the tunnel was across the farmyard. It was protected from cattle by a metal gate placed over its entrance.
