EnglandCarn Brea is a Neolithic tor enclosure in Cornwall, England, located 1.6 km southwest of Redruth [1]. The fortified hilltop settlement was occupied between 3700 and 3400 BC [1]. Archaeological excavations led by Roger Mercer revealed a 0.81-hectare inner enclosure surrounded by a 4.5-hectare outer rampart, both constructed with massive stone walls [1] [2]. The site represents Neolithic defensive architecture in southwestern England [1] [3].
