      A flint arrowhead from Carn Brea, Cornwall; over 700 flint arrowheads were found clustered around the main entrance to the enclosure, offering potential evidence for the site having been attacked: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/strategic-historic-environment-service/cornwall-and-scilly-historic-environment-record/access-to-monuments/find-by-name/find-monuments-by-name/a-e/carn-brea/ …pic.twitter.com/ikrDnKt6sX

          A coin of Micipsa, King of Numidia 148–118 BC, has also been found at Carn Brea and is arguably a genuine pre-Roman import of the later 2nd century BC, see http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/06/the-distribution-of-numidian-coins.html …pic.twitter.com/JtNgaMQnIL

          The two structures now visible on top of Carn Brea are rather more recent in date; one is Carn Brea Castle, which was first mentioned in 1478 and was partly rebuilt and extended in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hamishfenton/10176873836 … & http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MCO127&resourceID=1020 …

          The other structure is the 27m high Basset Monument, erected for Francis Lord de Dunstanville and Basset of Tehidy in 1836–7; it stands on the highest point of the hill, within the enclosed area of the prehistoric hillfort (pic=https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carn_Brea_Monument_by_Ansom.jpg …)pic.twitter.com/pbXqdN3ZLP

          I’m hoping the pair are breeding,their behaviour suggest the female incubating. Did a sound recording of Male calling.

          Grew up in its shadow and love this thread. Would be interested to know the rough location of the original entrance and poss site of the attack is? Is there a map? Used to think it was an extinct volcano! Too much scrumpy.

          Exciting! What does it say that the arrowheads were not recovered afterward? I was thinking about the Roman battlefield in Germany discovered a few years ago with a hillside covered with Roman missiles. There we can assume they were just in a hurry to get home...but at Carn Brea?

          Alas, matter of speculation as around 5000 years or so have passed, but most intriguing! I wonder if anyone has ever written a story based on the Carn Brea evidence...?

          Imagine the arrowheads were a valuable resource. Hard to fathom just leaving them. And yes, would make a fantastic setting!
