Carn Euny prehistoric village

 


This is a fabulous image of the Carn Euny prehistoric village near Penzance in Cornwall. It strikes me as being very similar in size and layout to the feature I have noted a number of times on this blog -- not far from Tafarn y Bwlch, at Banc Llwydlos:

Because the latter has never been excavated, we have no idea how old it is.  Carn Euny is dated as Iron Age / Romano British, but because Banc Llwydlos is in a Neolithic / Bronze Age landscape, not quite so well suited to farming and permanent settlement, we might assume it is older.

Time will tell......... and I hope somebody will dig there sooner rather than later.
