Hoping to unearth a piece of history with excavation
A BRONZE Age settlement containing at least 12 roundhouses is being uncovered beneath dense bracken near Lanyon in west Cornwall.
Excavations have begun at the 3,500-year-old site, which has lain largely undisturbed for centuries, despite being close to monuments such as Men an Tol and Lanyon Quoit.
Previous excavation of two of the roundhouses in the 1980s led to the recovery of Middle Bronze Age and Iron Age artefacts.
Ann Preston-Jones, from English Heritage, said: "Sites of this sort are rare and important, even in West Penwith.
"It will be extremely interesting to see the site cleared of bracken and dug in a way that also reveals the effects that bracken roots can have on buried archaeological layers."
