HISTORIC BODMIN MOOR SITES TO GET IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements are set to be made at two historic sites on Bodmin Moor as part of a project.
Cornwall National Landscape said the Goodaver stone circle and Tresibbet, a deserted medieval hamlet, had been included in the A Monumental Improvement scheme.
The project, which has support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, aimed to improve the condition of monuments, along with giving visitors better access and more information about the sites, bosses said.
Work at the monuments would include setting up a virtual reality tour and the creation of new public footpaths, Cornwall National Landscape said.
Cornwall National Landscape, managed by the Cornwall National Landscape (AONB) Trust, said the Goodaver Stone Circle was an arrangement of 23 granite stones dating back to the Bronze Age which measured about 32m (105ft) in diameter.
Tresibbet was a settlement with at least four types of farmhouses known as a longhouse, it added.
It also said the site also had at least 10 ancillary buildings, the remains of associated strip fields, several prehistoric roundhouses and irregular field patterns which were likely Bronze Age.
