Nancegollan is a village in the civil parish of Crowan in west Cornwall, England.[1] Nancegollan is on the B3303 road and south-east of Leedstown. The railway line from Helston to Hayle passed through the village (closed in 1964).[2]

On Polcrebo Downs is the engine house of the Polcrebo Mine which was reopened in 1882 and still working in the 1890s; but is of very ancient origin.[3][4]
