Exploring Cornwall – Iron Age Village Carn Euny

Today, Mark Sellwood and I are taking a look at the Iron Age village of Carn Euny in Cornwall as we near the end of my whistle stop tour.

Carn Euny is an archaeological site near Sancreed, on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall with considerable evidence of both Iron Age and post-Iron Age settlement. Excavations on this site have shown that there was activity at Carn Euny as early as the Neolithic period. There is evidence that shows that the first timber huts there were built about 200 BC, but by the 1st century BC, these had been replaced by stone huts. The remains of these stone huts are still visible today.
