Carn Euny Ancient Village
historicOne of the best-preserved Iron Age villages in Britain, Carn Euny features a remarkable underground passage — a fogou — whose purpose remains debated. The stone-built courtyard houses date from around 500 BC, though the settlement was occupied for centuries before and after. The fogou's curved chamber, over 60 feet long, is an extraordinary architectural achievement in unworked stone.
