Looking in the opposite direction around St Ives Bay from Phillack Towans to Godrevy & Gwithian, the latter having produced significant quantities of 5th- to 6th-century Byzantine imports.pic.twitter.com/9gdUu0isB1
The Red River just before it flows into St Ives Bay, Cornwall; the early medieval Gwithian site with its Byzantine imports lay a little inland from this point, within a wide landscape of deep deposits of wind-blown sand on the northern side of the Red River estuary.pic.twitter.com/kT6SjeqA0G

The earliest insular traditions about St Ia are found in the 'Life of Gwinear', written c. 1300 by Anselm, BnF Latin 15005, ff. 68r–71v: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b90670160/f69.image …pic.twitter.com/PTqZc2Rp3t

St Ia had a shrine in Constantinople located right by the main imperial ceremonial entrance to the city, the Golden Gate; this shrine was apparently extensively and lavishly renovated by the Emperor Justinian (527–65): https://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/01/st-ia-of-st-ives-byzantine-saint.html …pic.twitter.com/xrCtkGT33l
