The stone houses that make up the visible remains of Carn Euny village represent a settlement that thrived from the late Iron Age
The stone houses that make up the visible remains of Carn Euny village represent a settlement that thrived from the late Iron Age through the centuries of the Romano-British period. The village is situated on the south facing slopes of a hill just above the 500m contour, dominated by the nearby summit of Caer Brane with its Iron Age hill ort. The remains of houses and prehistoric field systems surrounding the site indicate that the area was settled probably from the Bronze Age onwards, and finds of flint tools suggest a human presence from the Mesolithic period.
