Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The first season of an ongoing project (focussed on Leskernick Hill, north-west Bodmin Moor, Cornwall) entailed a preliminary settlement survey and limited excavation of a stone row terminal. The site comprises a western and a southern settlement situated on the lower, stony, slopes of the hill and including fifty-one circular stone houses constructed using a variety of building techniques. Walled fields associated with these houses vary in size from 0.25--1ha and appear to have accreted in a curvilinear fashion from a number of centres. Five small burial mounds and a cist are associated with the southern settlement. The western settlement includes `cairn-like' piles of stones within and between some houses. The settlements may have been built sequentially but the layout of each adheres to a coherent design suggesting a common broad phase of use. The southern settlement overlooks a stone-free plain containing a ceremonial complex. The paper is described as a narrative account, considering not only the form, function and chronology of the sites but also the relationships between people and the landscape they inhabit. There is an `Appendix: Leskernick stone row terminal, details of the site and excavated contexts' (176--8). | |||||||||
