  • Tam Kernewek
    Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 32 Issue 3 Fall 2014 Cornish American Heritage Society Cornish American Heritage 48 Presidents’ Messages I can't believe the excitement of the 17th Gathering is over! It has been a whirlwind and a great success. The Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee pulled it off well, if I do say so myself. Thanks to all the great presenters and Cornish Cous- ins who really made it a family reunion. It was a pleasure meeting many names I had only read before. I am so happy that Kathryn Herman has agreed to take over as president. After two years of working with her on the plan- ning committee, I know she is a woman of great organization and imagination. Her knowledge of Cornwall and connec- tions there will give the CAHS a direction I couldn't give. I will be happy to continue serving as an officer (historian), so I can work on projects for the Society. As I hand over the role of president to Kathryn, I will be finishing up some things started at the Gathering. (And Kathryn deserves to catch her breath!) Our business meeting was cut short. Ultimately that may be an advantage, since some questions might be better addressed via e-mails with the participants, rather than a hurried discussion we would have had there. If any of the CAHS members not present at the Gathering would like to be included in the discussion, please write me. Again, thanks to all for the great Gathering! It is now a matter of continuing the energy we had in Milwaukee.

  • The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain
    The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain By Simon R. Davies A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of Ph.D. Funded by the AHRC. i University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Along with causewayed enclosures, the tor enclosures of Cornwall and Devon represent the earliest enclosure of large open spaces in Britain and are the earliest form of surviving non-funerary monument. Their importance is at least as great as that of causewayed enclosures, and it might be argued that their proposed associations with settlement, farming, industry, trade and warfare indicate that they could reveal more about the Early Neolithic than many causewayed enclosure sites. Yet, despite being recognised as Neolithic in date as early as the 1920s, they have been subject to a disproportionately small amount of work. Indeed, the southwest, Cornwall especially, is almost treated like another country by many of those studying the Early Neolithic of southern Britain. When mentioned, this region is more likely to be included in studies of Ireland and the Irish Sea zone than studies concerning England.

  • Carwynnen Quoit Grid Reference: SW650373 Near Troon, Camborne, West Cornwall
    Carwynnen Quoit Grid reference: SW650373 Near Troon, Camborne, West Cornwall Carwynnen Quoit, also known as Pendarves Quoit, is a Bronze Age Burial Chamber in West Cornwall, not far from the village of Troon. The quoit collapsed in 1967 but there are plans to rebuild it, under the guidance of professional archaeologists. When standing it was similar to Lanyon Quoit in West Penwith. There is no doubt that this site was of equal archaeological significance, originally standing on rough ground but becoming part of the nearby Pendarves Estate as it grew in the 19th century. The Sustainable Trust Keepers Cottage Clowance Estate Praze-an-Beeble Cornwall Heritage Trust The Sustainable Trust Cornwall TR14 0NQ What do we know about Carwynnen Quoit? - 1 The basic facts The “Quoit” is an example of a “Penwith Chamber Tomb”. In Penwith, to the west of Carwynnen, there are several good examples of these late Neolithic/early Carwynnen Quoit from a C19th drawing. Pendarves House is in the background Bronze Age burial chambers. Dating these tombs is difficult because there are few dateable finds from the time of the its earliest use, but most archaeologists agree that they come from the Neolithic period, between 35000-2500BC. They possibly remained in use into the early Bronze Age. Carwynnen Quoit is also known as Pendarves Quoit and as “the Giant’s Quoit” and the “Giant’s Frying Pan”. The capstone of this tomb once stood on three supports and was 1.5m high. It collapsed in 1834, was rebuilt and then fell again in 1967. It has remained collapsed ever since.

Henwood (1) reports that the adit outflow from the United Downs area was 38m3/min at 28°C or the equivalent of 47MWt and recent measurements at South Crofty Mine show that over 6MWt is still being re­ jected from the mine water alone. The objectives of the authors’ current research programme are directed towards the development of a method of exploiting the heat as a commercial product in its own right; with the possible bonus of the in-situ leaching of low grade minerals.
