Carn Euny is an ancient Iron Age Village, established before 500BC and occupied well into
the Roman period. Noted for its well-preserved fogou (from the Cornish for cave) which may have
been used for storage of goods and livestock, for ceremonial purposes or even for a hide-out in
times of trouble. Since Carn Euny's rediscovery by tin prospectors in the early nineteenth
century more than 10 houses on the site have been excavated.
