SUMMARY:Walk: Trebarveth and Lowland Point\, St Keverne with Charlie Johns
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 26 September\, Trebarveth and Lowland Point\, St Kever
 ne with Charlie Johns.We will walk along the coast from Coverack to Trebar
 veth and Lowland Point\, through Coverack’s eastern suburb first\, but s
 oon into coastal rough ground\, with traces of prehistoric coaxial fields 
 and roundhouses among the willows and the heath.This is a land of continui
 ty\, in that later farmers picked up and reused the prehistoric field line
 s in their own hedges\, and in the continued use of the rough ground for s
 ummer grazing until quite recently. Some of the prehistoric and then medie
 val fields are still worked\, for hay and pasture.But it is also a land of
  change\, with the sea constantly nibbling at the low cliff\, devouring fa
 rmland\, and revealing and then destroying structures\, spilling sherds an
 d scatters of flints. One of the structures is a late prehistoric ovoid ho
 use sliced open by coastal erosion and opened up further by archaeological
  excavation back in 1969\, directed by David Peacock. That showed it conta
 ined ovens used in reducing saltwater to pure salt\, using flat-bottomed v
 essels whose sherds have been given the lovely name\, briquetage. Charlie 
 has memories of the excavations\, his first\, undertaken during his school
 ’s Easter holidays.Being a coast close to both the Lizard and the Manacl
 es\, there will also be stories of wrecks and defence\, a Second World War
  radar station\, and at the end\, from Lowland Point\, a view to the Dean 
 Point quarries\, where gabbro was turned into aggregate in the later 20th 
 century.Book via Ticket Tailor
