Chysauster Ancient Village
at New Mill Gulval Penzance. This Iron Age
settlement was originally occupied almost 2,000 years ago. The
village consisted of eight stone-walled homesteads known as
‘courtyard houses’, found only on the Land’s End peninsula and the
Isles of Scilly. The houses line a ‘village street’, and each had an
open central courtyard surrounded by a number of thatched rooms.
There are also the remains of an enigmatic ‘fogou’ underground
passage. |
