As early as 1685 this area was a tin works known as Foxhole. More than likely minning versus streaming as in Cornish the word is Tollowarn, meaning fox earth. 1

Henderson does not mention this area by either name. 2






The photo at left was taken from top of Chegwins overlooking Foxhole. Nanpean is further back.
