Examining 20 individual sites, Clark considers their construction, archaeological context and possible purpose. Were they ritual spaces, places of refuge or practical chambers used for storage? While their true function remains uncertain, this important work provides a detailed and enduring account of some of Cornwall’s most intriguing prehistoric structures.
