Prehistoric Settlement at Nanjulian
The settlement consisted of a cluster of five houses, each with a courtyard; four of which are around a central enclosed area. It is thought that the central area might have been a community public space. There is also the remains of an underground chamber (fogou), although this one appears to be partially above-ground. Artefacts at the site date from the Iron Age but there are also signs of occupation in Roman times. It is possible that the structure of the settlement may have evolved over the centuries as houses with courtyards are more typical of the Roman period.
