Harlyn

Harlyn (Cornish: ar-Lyn, meaning facing a pool) is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

It originally comprised the Farm, Beach, Farmhouse (now The Pig at Harlyn]) and the Fish Cellars.

They probably date from the early Bronze Age, and were probably deposited as grave goods, as there are several prehistoric burial mounds nearby.

They represent the crescent horns of the moon, and may thus have been objects of great ritual and ceremonial significance.

[4] The remains were recovered for further investigation, but it is assumed that they belong to a female from either the Iron or Bronze Age periods.
