About Carn Euny Ancient Village
Carn Euny was an Iron Age settlement in Cornwall, established by local farming communities and occupied from roughly the fifth century BCE into the Roman period. It featured stone-built courtyard houses and an underground passage known as a fogou, whose original purpose remains debated. The village illustrates prehistoric and Romano-British rural settlement in southwest Britain.
