Looking across St Ives Bay to Hayle from Porthminster Beach, St Ives; fwiw, an early chapel and stone cist burials were exposed here by the shifting sands in the 1870s, but have since been buried again.pic.twitter.com/7eSWezCXMj

The entrance to the Hayle Estuary, with Lelant Towans on the left; another probable buried chapel and associated graves were found beneath the sand-hills here in the 19th century by railway workers, see https://issuu.com/cornwallarchaeologicalsociety/docs/no.3_1964 … (pp. 34–36).pic.twitter.com/u9sITExC0q
Other early medieval finds from St Ives bay, Cornwall, include this 7th-century bar-lug cauldron/cooking pot from Gwithian & platter from Hellesvean, St Ives, on display in @Cornwall_Museum (see above on both findspots).pic.twitter.com/mlTLTkbMlj

Dr Caitlin Green added,
Incidentally, there are no Byzantine coins yet from St Ives Bay, but there is one from the Roman-era settlement at Chysauster, Cornwall, located around 4 miles from St Ives — a coin of Maurice Tiberius (582–602), minted in Alexandria…pic.twitter.com/RqDWqbzCfZ
From a bit further up the coast, a 6th- or 7th-century Byzantine coin found several inches down in a rock pool on Perranporth beach: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/469910 …pic.twitter.com/k0AtkNOQlg

Of course, the St Ives Bay finds of Mediterranean imports are part of a wider picture of such finds in 5th- to 6th-century Cornwall and western Britain & Ireland in general: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/01/st-ia-of-st-ives-byzantine-saint.html … & http://www.caitlingreen.org/2017/03/a-very-long-way-from-home.html …pic.twitter.com/FiwY1ISXaJ
For interest, a topographic map of the area around St Ives Bay, showing the two significant rivers emptying into the bay, both of which have important sites producing 5th-/6th-century eastern Mediterranean imports on them: http://en-gb.topographic-map.com/places/Hayle-3844143/ …pic.twitter.com/kI5W5mZNHA
@MarkWalters_ ok, just gotta ask, what's the liar like about this beach area between the rivers?
Intriguingly, he has me blocked, despite the fact I've never interacted with him aside from the occasional retweet of his stuff
In any case, there's some lidar of the area here, fwiw :) https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SW5494838018 …
Awesome and I suspect it's an accident by @MarkWalters_
