Carn Euny Ancient Village: A Journey into Cornwall's Prehistoric Past This evocative image captures the enigmatic allure of Carn Euny Ancient Village in Cornwall, an intriguing relic of Iron Age heritage. Taken by renowned photographer James O. Davies for Historic England, this photograph invites us to explore the depths of time and delve into the mysteries of our ancient past. The scene before us is the interior of a fogou, a Cornish term for a subterranean chamber or tunnel, located within the sprawling Carn Euny settlement. The fogou, shrouded in fog and bathed in the soft, ethereal light filtering through the entrance, appears as an otherworldly portal, beckoning us to step inside and uncover the secrets it holds. The Iron Age village of Carn Euny, nestled in the lush, rolling hills of west Cornwall, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. Dating back to around 200 BC, this ancient community thrived for several centuries, leaving behind a rich and complex archaeological site that continues to fascinate scholars and visitors alike. The fogou, one of several such structures within the village, serves as a reminder of the intricate connections between the people of Carn Euny and the natural world. Its purpose remains a subject of debate among archaeologists, with theories ranging from religious or ritual use to more practical functions such as food storage or shelter. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time, our imaginations filling in the gaps left by history. The fogou becomes a gateway to the past, a portal to a world long gone but never truly forgotten. Through the lens of James O. Davies, we are granted a rare and precious glimpse into the heart of Carn Euny Ancient Village, a place where the past and the present converge, and the echoes of our ancestors' footsteps still resonate.
