Cornwalls Archaeological Heritage
 
Price£4.50
AuthorThe Historic Environment Unit, Cornwall County Council
FormatPaperback
PublisherTwelveheads Press
DescriptionCornwall has a wealth of archaeological remains that few parts of Britain can equal. Due largely to the use of stone for building and the nature of traditional farming practices, an astonishing range of monuments survive.

Every period of history is represented, not just in single sites but in whole landscapes; prehistoric farms, ritual and burial sites; the strongly defended hillforts and mysterious fogous; early church sites and granite crosses; medieval farms and ancient tinworks: successive generations have made their contribution to the shaping of the countryside we see today.

This book tells something of their story and describes nearly ninety sites, chosen as representative of all periods, which are freely and easily accessible.
