Just off the coast Path at the bottom of the village.
Iron Age. A must-see if you like ancient history. Some of the stone walls ("hedges") in the area are thousands of years old.
Just at the bottome of the village take the path to your right (the lighthouse side) and it is a few yards down a lane with cornish hedges (some of these stone hedges are thousands of years old). Now owned by the National Trust, look out for the NT sign. It'll probably be quite overgrown in the summer.
