	Carn Euny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carn Euny is an archaeological site near Sancreed, on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, United Kingdom with considerable evidence of both Iron Age and post-Iron Age settlement.
		Excavations on this site have shown that there was activity at Carn Euny as early as the Neolithic period.
		Carn Euny is best known for the well-preserved state of the large fogou, an underground passageway, which is more than 65 feet (20 metres) long.

	Cornwall County Council - Watching Brief at Carn Euny Fogou, Sancreed
		Carn Euny prehistoric village was established in the Iron Age (before 500BC) and occupation continued into the Romano-British period.
		Carn Euny is located on a south-west hill-slope at approximately 160m OD, below the Iron age hillfort of Caer Bran and close to the Iron Age/Romano-British settlement of Goldherring.
		The corbelled chamber attached to the fogou at Carn Euny appears to be a unique structure, having no direct parallels with fogous elsewhere.

		Where Carn Euny has only been partially excavated, Chysauster (its name is actually 'Chy Sylvestra', meaning the houses in the wood) has been more fully excavated since its discovery in around 1860, much the same time as Carn Euny.
		Unlike earlier Carn Euny, Chysauster dates from around the birth of Christ and was occupied during the Roman period.
		The fogou, unlike that at Carn Euny, is in a ruinous state and is not open.

		I've only had the chance to visit one, at a rather well-preserved village called Carn Euny in Penwith, and at the time I was getting rather carried away with a cheap fish-eye adaptor which gave interesting circular compositions.
		The more accessible ones, such as that at Sancreed, are strange enough, but the more out-of-the-way, such as Carn Euny (in a little patch of trees on the top of an empty moor, miles from anywhere), are even crustier, older and weirder-feeling.
		The Carn Euny holy well is the most out-of-the-way and hence has the strangest atmosphere.
