The location of Cornwall Celtic Village, a reconstructed Bronze-Iron Age settlement run by Jacqui Wood. The purpose of the project is to educate the public in the daily life of the Bronze/Iron-Age inhabitants of Cornwall and to enable them to participate in activities which help to reconstruct that way of life.
Jacqui Wood is best known as the author of the book 'Prehistoric Cooking', as well as the founder and director of Saveock Water Archaeology, which is also run from this site. They have run training excavations since 2000 - the multi-phase nature of the site means there is something for everyone, with finds ranging from the Mesolithic to Early Modern periods.
Listed as 'Modern Site' as there is not an actual prehistoric site, nor is it a museum as such as I cannot find details of its opening times.
