Another pile of stones
Still no pretty beach scene for my blip. Today was our archaeology day, compare and contrast with the Western Isles.
Sadly Chysauster was officially shut, happily the wall at the back of the site has a footpath crossing it. The village was occupied until about 500 AD with several well preserved structures, several of which one could imagine as starting life as a Hebridean wheelhouse.
After Chysauster, it was stage two of our gastronomic tour - a pasty in the pretty market town of St Just - before moving on to the other very well preserved Iron Age village on the Land's End peninsula at Carn Euny with it's impressive fogou, or what in the Hebrides would be called a souterrain - because of its proximity to France?!
