Description
The monument and rocks on top of Carn Brea Cornwall.
Carn Brea Monument can be seen from almost anywhere in Mid Cornwall standing as a reminder of its mining past.
The Cup and Saucer Rock next to the monument is a large flattish rock with several deep basins
The slopes of the carn have their own story to tell. 6,000 years ago, granite walls and ramparts once circled the tors, and the remains are there to this day… along with the sites of Roman and Bronze Age artefacts, Iron Age roundhouses and – legend has it — the petrified bones of the Giant of Carn Brea, John of Gaunt.
