Abstract: |
A magnetic survey was commissioned by the National Trust to prospect an area of land surrounding the mound of Carne Beacon for buried structures of archaeological interest, under the aegis of the Unlocking Our Coastal Heritage project. The results are striking with three concentric discontinuous rings of ditches found to surround the mound. Various ages of former field and enclosure boundary ditch run towards the mound and illustrate that it has been a focus within the landscape for a long time. A second cairn was found close by, apparently undisturbed. |
