Excavation of the Iron Age cemetery at Harlyn Bay, St Merryn, Cornwall. 1900

A photograph of several scientists about to examine Iron Age cists (stone lined graves) at Harlyn Bay. The Reverend W. Iago is in the centre, behind him is another photographer taking a photograph of the scene. The Iron Age cemetery in Harlyn Bay was excavated between 1900 and 1906. When digging foundations for a new house to be built, Mr Reddie Mallett had made an important archaeological discovery by finding a cist containing human remains. Excavations over the next 6 years found Harlyn Bay to be the largest Iron Age burial site in Cornwall. Bronze Age barrows had been discovered in 1864, on the west side of the bay, near the cliff edge, by a labourer digging a pond on land owned by Mr Hellyar. Photographer: Reddie Mallett
