Richard13 visited on 21st Jul 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 Visiting this site required negociating some narrow country lanes, but it is signed and is well worth the effort of reaching it. There is a small parking area and Carn Euny is a short walk away from here.
The remains of the houses are clearly visible and the walls can clearly be made out. There are also other features visible such as paving and internal dividing walls in the houses. It does not take too much imagination to visualise how the village would have looked (with the help of some useful information boards) and it was interesting to consider how its inhabitants would have gone about their daily lives. There is also a Fougou here which makes it doubly worth visiting!
TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I move on to Carn Euny village with its fantastic fogou, which has now had the round chamber covered, really magical. The remains of the village courtyard houses do not match up to the wonders of Chysauster, but this is more than made up for by the magic of the fogou.
