Carn Euny Fogue Entrance
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 ten houses on the site have been excavated.
