Oh darn! I had hoped it was a glen but I guess it needs "glen" in front of it. I always liked the poetic "glens of Antrim" references in songs and stories. Doesn't Henry Joy start out with a line about the Antrin Glens?

No my mom and sister never got out of Cornwall so Tolvan (or vin, who argues with a mom!) Cross was in Cornwall. A learned friend tells me "cross" probably meant 'crossroad'. So perhaps Tolvin is a place where roads crossed?!? At any rate it is in Cornwall.
