Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Cornish fogou has long been the subject of much academic discussion, not least regarding its possible purpose within later Iron Age society. However, it has in general come to be known as an `enigmatic' structure and its probable function has never been considered in a detailed manner. An investigation was subsequently undertaken considering the three proposed theories of storage, ritual function, and refuge. Although storage has been the favoured interpretation to date, an examination of previous study leads to the conclusion that their only effective role lay in concealment, acting as a refuge for certain commodities and/or people. | ||
