Calvadnack (Cornish: Kalvadnek) is a 130 acres (53 hectares) area of heathland 3.7 miles (6.0 km) south-east of Camborne in Cornwall, England, UK. Calvadnack is in the civil parish of Wendron. Calvadnack is south-west of the hill of Carnmenellis.[1] In the centre of the moor are the remains of an Iron Age settlement consisting of four round houses.[2][3]
Almost all of Calvadnack Moor is in the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape which has been designated as a World Heritage Site. The site was added to the World Heritage List during the 30th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Vilnius, July 2006.
