This is an ancient village that was accidentally discovered. Although it is not hard to enter the parking position, but it is not difficult to enter the car, but it is very narrow and the end of the road is very narrow. It's not too good, you need to be mentally prepared. You can choose one of the two roads in the parking lot.
narrow and windy road to access the place - at the end of a no through road, but well worth it! Interesting pre-roman remains if a village with an amazing Fogou which you can enter an mull over why they were built. Also, the information boards gave helpful background and speculation as to how and why the village may have been laid out as it was. All in beautiful surrounding countryside. Well worth a visit
OK whilst this is brilliant be VERY Aware that it's poorly sign posted to get to AND the road is extremely narrow. Put it this way there's not enough passing room so cars have to reverse to let others through a lot! It does have signage and a foogu and provides plenty of options to think about our ancestors, what they did I the village and why as well as their ideas of sacred spaces. Good place to visit.
Narrow lanes on approach. Beautiful setting on slope of hill and impressive remains of iron age and romano british houses , courtyards and fogou
Parking outside for 8 cars but the road is typically narrow with passing places. It is amazing what has been done here to enable visitors to see the foundations of an actual homestead pre Roman times. Information boards about the site explain what it was like. The most interesting is the huge underground Fogou/storage area which you can walk into with 2 entrances. The roof is a more modern feature with a window for light and it leaks!
