Incidentally, Phillack Church is also visible from the ramparts of Carnsew Hillfort, with the sand dunes of The Towans rising up behind it.pic.twitter.com/XZbDoulEJi
A Late Roman coin hoard deposited in a bronze container in the late 3rd century AD; it was found a little to the west of Carnsew Hillfort in 1825, when workmen were taking away the upper part of the cliff and the adjoining field during the construction of the Hayle causeway.pic.twitter.com/NNyfNFqhZ4
Inside the ramparts of Carnsew Hillfort, Hayle; unfortunately, the hillfort has been partially destroyed by ploughing, a deep railway cutting, and the construction of an ornamental park along its ramparts in 1845 ('The Plantation').pic.twitter.com/QQ2QeqcS6a
Also visible from Carnsew Hillfort is Lelant Church; it has been suggested that the churchyard within which Lelant parish church now sits may preserve the rectangular platform of a Roman fort that was well placed to control access to the Hayle Estuary...pic.twitter.com/gds4YAIa6f
A closer view of Lelant's rectangular churchyard, which sits around 1.5 metres above the surrounding ground.pic.twitter.com/pPdX5n6AFG

Finally, Charles Thomas suggests that the Neolithic tor enclosure and Iron Age multivallate hillfort of Trencrom Hill, which is located 1.5 miles to the west of the Hayle Estuary & overlooks it, may have also played a role in the 'post-Roman' era...pic.twitter.com/KedVo7wJKx
Looking out towards St Ives Bay and Godrevy Lighthouse from Trencrom Hill, Cornwall; an early medieval inscribed stone has been identified in a stile at the foot of the hillfort & there are reports of early medieval grass-marked wares having been found on the fort itself.pic.twitter.com/KiIFOgHJgY
Trencrom Hill is one of our favourite walks.
Atmospheric & such beautiful views when it's not foggy!pic.twitter.com/pFzJRv8Xvl
