Chysauster Ancient Village

Over 2000 years ago, there were habitants of Chysauster Ancient Village, which is situated not too far from Castle An Dinas. Chysauster is part of a settlement that is not too dissimilar to the structure of many of Cornwall’s villages today. It is known as a courtyard village, surrounded by stone houses with living quarters and an associated courtyard. Chysauster also has evidence of a ‘fogue’ which is essentially an underground passageway or cave. The fogue is not very well preserved, but nonetheless, there is clear evidence suggesting that one existed.

It is believed that occupants lived in this Iron Age village right through to Roman times, and the location has fantastically well preserved courtyard houses. There are up to 10 houses, which had basic living and storage areas within the centre of the village.
