Manaccan

Manaccan (/məˈnækən/; Cornish: Manahan)[1] is a civil parish and village on the Lizard peninsula in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

For local government purposes it is in the St Keverne and Meneage ward of Cornwall Council, a unitary authority.

[6] Manaccan parish is in a district known as Meneage which means 'land of the monks', a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

[10] Boden Vean Fogou was rediscovered by a local farmer in the 1990s and was excavated by archaeologists in 2003[11] and in September and October 2008.

In 1790 William Gregor discovered ilmenite, an iron titanium oxide, which he named menachanite (and is sometimes still called manaccanite), in Gillan Creek that runs through the valley just south of the village.
