Porthcothan Lodge’s elevated position makes the most of the stunning views down to the bay. With three exceptional bedrooms, this stunning holiday home sleeps six guests in exquisite, modern comfort. The open plan living area is both striking and extremely comfortable. It boasts warm wooden floors thoughout, high vaulted ceilings, a trendy hanging log burning stove and an incredible amount of light flooding in through the many windows and patio and tri-fold doors. The kitchen and dining area is raised from the lounge area and features beautiful white and wooden units, a useful breakfast bar where guests can keep the chef company, dining with a view as well as a gorgeous white piano and a super comfy contemporary chair. Perhaps you have some budding pianists who can entertain you all while the chef is preparing a delicious meal? There is such a wonderful sense of space with the high ceilings and the calm colour scheme. You will find lovely modern artwork on the walls giving little colour pops and striking lighting from the ultra high ceiling. The oak doors to the rest of the house are fabulous with eye- catching coloured glass panels. Just a few steps down, you will find the very attractive lounge area with its perfectly fitting corner sofa, its hanging fire and extraordinary views across to the village and bay.

    Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE

    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation
