Carningli Village



Been looking at those wonderful Google images again -- and have homed in on Carningli Village.  this is the main residential part of the hillfort which straddles the summit of the mountain.

At the bottom left of the photo we see the craggy summits, and the fortified embankments can then be seen in a loop around the settlement site, criss-crossed by tracks -- some made by humans on their way to the summit, and others made by sheep.  If you click to enlarge the image, you can see some of the hut circles quite clearly -- but many others are buried beneath the heather and bilberry "carpet".
