“…Additionally, a furnace for mineral processing constructed over round structures in the Area of Interest (AOI) was identified. Presumably, the site was originally a place for ceremonies and local tribes [25]. Later, in the 16th century, the furnace was built for smelting and production of minerals and tin inside the fort [26,27].…”

With the increasing demands to use remote sensing approaches, such as aerial photography, satellite imagery, and LiDAR in archaeological applications, there is still a limited number of studies assessing the differences between remote sensing methods in extracting new archaeological finds. Therefore, this work aims to critically compare two types of fine-scale remotely sensed data: LiDAR and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) derived Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. To achieve this, aerial imagery and airborne LiDAR datasets of Chun Castle were acquired, processed, analyzed, and interpreted. Chun Castle is one of the most remarkable ancient sites in Cornwall County (Southwest England) that had not been surveyed and explored by non-destructive techniques. The work outlines the approaches that were applied to the remotely sensed data to reveal potential remains: Visualization methods (e.g., hillshade and slope raster images), ISODATA clustering, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. The results display various archaeological remains within the study site that have been successfully identified. Applying multiple methods and algorithms have successfully improved our understanding of spatial attributes within the landscape. The outcomes demonstrate how raster derivable from inexpensive approaches can be used to identify archaeological remains and hidden monuments, which have the possibility to revolutionize archaeological understanding.

“…As is the case for the enclosures at Hay Close and Camelford, it seems unlikely that the Tremough enclosure was used as an occupation site. It is also of interest that in common with those sites, the Tremough enclosure was located near to known areas of contemporary settlement‐related activity (Gossip and Jones 2007, 40–50). Again, it seems likely that the enclosure may have been the focus for communal activities dating to at least the end of the first millennium cal BC.…”

“…The site is positioned on the southern end of a spur of land to the west of Penryn, which has far-reaching views to the south and distantly out to sea and the Carrick Roads, a major navigable waterway that lies at a distance of approximately 2 km to the east. The enclosure is located close to an important complex of Middle and later Bronze Age ceremonial monuments, as well as Iron Age and Romano-British settlement remains (Gossip and Jones 2007), which lie a few hundred metres to the north and east.…”

Misplaced Monuments?: A Review of Ceremony and Monumentality in First Millennium Cal Bc Cornwall

Both large-and small-scale ceremonial monuments are a wellknown feature of the third and second millennia cal BC. However, from the middle of the second millennium cal BC the character of the evidence changes, firstly with the appearance of widespread settlement remains, and then in the earlier first millennium cal BC with the appearance of hillforts. This paper considers the evidence from a number of newly discovered enclosures in Cornwall, which, given their similarity to much older ceremonial monument forms, have unexpectedly been found to date from the first millennium cal BC. The implications of these discoveries are discussed as well as the evidence for possible Atlantic Connections across the Irish Sea.
