Rosewall Hill - "The Trilogy" consists of three linked caches on or near the top of Rosewall Hill overlooking St Ives Bay. Visit on a clear day for some superb views around the coast. You MUST first visit Rosewall 1 to find the co-ordinates for Rosewall 2 where you will find co-ordinates for Rosewall 3.
According to "Myths & Legends of Cornwall" (C.Weatherhill & P.Devereux), the mines on Rosewall Hill were haunted by Knockers (weird sprite-like things). A miner called Trenwith formed a partnership with the Knockers, and benefited from their expertise at mining ore. Trenwith would leave 1/10th of properly dressed ore as payment to the Knockers. This relationship continued after Trenwith's death via his son, who one day sought to cheat the Knockers. The lode then failed, he became a drunk who lost all his father's money and ended up a beggar.
