Carn Euny
The remains of an ancient village at Carn Euny was discovered in the early 19th Century by prospectors searching for tin deposits. Carn Euny was occupied from the Iron Age until late Roman times although excavations on this site have shown that there was activity at Carn Euny as early as the Neolithic period. There is evidence that the first timber huts there were built about 200 BC, but by the 1st century BC, these had been replaced by stone huts. What remains today are the foundations of stone houses from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD.
