Log Text: Arrived at Chysauster early before the site was quite open, got my free entry with my CADW life membership card, and got permission to fly my kite here. A nice relaxed time, light winds, I was amazed everytime I brought my camera back to the ground how different and understandable everything seemed from the viewpoint far above my head. On the ground you walk through the courtyard houses; peer into the different rooms, but you don't really get the spatial relationship of everything, but the view from the camera hanging beneath the kite just gives the different rooms, different houses, spaces between all a context and enhances the understanding of this remarkable site.

Cranken Courtyard Houses
Date Added: 25th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 14th May 2010
Cranken Courtyard Houses submitted by h_fenton on 14th May 2010. Cranken Courtyard House 1, Grid Reference: SW 4607 3424
A vertical Kite Aerial Photograph, the aerial photograph does not really do the site justice, although it is true to say there is not much to see here. The photo was taken in early April, before the fresh growth of bracken obscures everything. The top of the photograph is aligned to roughly north. Just above the centre of the photo is a dark patch this is a small stone chamber (possibly modern) at the northern side of the house.

Bosullow Trehyllys is a small village of Courtyard Houses, in terms of preservation it is considered to be second only to the nearby ancient village of Chysauster. The biggest difference is that Bosullow Trehyllys remains unexcavated. Today this site is grazed by horses (04/2010).

Log Text: This time I arrived at Chysauster half an hour before closing time, I wanted to get some more aerial photographs, I got permission. Kite and camera rushed into the air, I spent the next 45minutes thoroughly photographing the site, unfortunately the sun was still fairly high in the sky so some of the earthworks didn't show as well as they might otherwise do. staff at the site were relaxed about closing time and by the time I had finished there were still a couple of other visitors wandering around. Nice Ambience.
