Caer Bran

Caer Bran Hill Fort is an archaeological site near Sancreed and Carn Euny Iron Age village, on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall [1]. The site consists of an Iron Age hill fort which originally included a circular stone-lined inner wall, twelve feet thick, enclosing a space 200 feet in diameter [1]. Surrounding this was a ditch forty-five feet wide and seven feet deep, an earthen rampart fifteen feet high with stone revetment and a slight counterscarp outer bank [1]. There are remnants of a stone-lined causeway over the ditch at the original entrance to the North West adjacent to the ancient trackway linking Penzance with Land's End [1]. In the centre are the remains of a large circular stone building, of about fifty feet in diameter [1]. There are three Bronze Age ring cairns within the outer ramparts according to a Cornwall Archaeological Unit Survey [1].
