Bosiliack Huts
Bosiliack Huts submitted by MikeAttwell : This roundhouse settlement consists of 13 houses. The foundations are clearly visible particularly in the spring. Three of the houses were partially excavated in 1984 and 2011. Carbon dates suggest that settlement was occupied from the middle Bronze Age and through the Iron Age. There are also four more huts located in the accompanying field system. (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

Archaeological excavations at Bosiliack, Madron, Cornwall - Andy M Jones by Andy B on Sunday, 21 October 2018

Archaeological excavations at Bosiliack, Madron, Cornwall - Andy M Jones

In September 2011 archaeological investigations were carried out on a Bronze Age settlement at Bosiliack, near Lanyon in West Penwith. The project was undertaken to gain further information by excavating one of the roundhouses and to ascertain the effects of bracken rhizomes upon buried archaeological deposits. During the course of the project, eight 1m square test pits and a small structure, house 3, were excavated.
Excavation revealed the substantial impact of bracken but also led to the recovery of Middle Bronze Age pottery which suggests a second millennium cal BC date for the roundhouse. Later activity dating to the Middle Iron Age was revealed by two radiocarbon determinations.

In 1984 two roundhouses and an Early Bronze Age entrance grave were investigated in the same area. These sites have been published elsewhere. However, a summary is included in this paper to provide a wider context for the 2011 excavations and to make the results more widely available.
