i am a student with a huge amount of respect for history, archaeology and heratige, particuarly related to Cornwall and its prehistory.
I am currently studying in Cornwall for my Archaeology A-level and am interested in getting as much information and personal views, infromation, folklore and experiences regarding any sites in West Penwith. Epecially Chun Quoit, Chun Castle, Carn Gluze (Ballowal Barrow) and Kenijack Moorland sites such as Tregaseal stone circles, barrows and anything else you can think of.

I would also like any links to websites or book references that can provide more information on these sites.

If i get enough information from people throught this forum then i will be happy to post my completed coursework as a topic after the course deadline.
All sources will be referenced unless otherwise requested.
This is perfectly allowed by the exam board as a form of research.
All information will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
Mirla
