Again, this documentary is most excellent in all facets, I think. For myself, as a sixty one year old Cornish man, I can distinctly remember the history lessons we Cornish children were taught as eleven and twelve year old's respectively. These lessons were taught during our first and second years of studies at secondary school. Our respective history education centred on Cornwall's earliest indigenous inhabitants, and their stone age cultures; the construction of menhirs, dolmens, fougous, stone circles ( the Merry Maidens'), and the 'Men an Tol' , as well as barrow building. We then were taught about our Bronze and Iron age settlements in Cornwall, such as Chysauster etc. Nowadays, Cornish children are scarcely aware of these vital identity links. What a shame this is, for me, for now Cornish children have become so Anglicised, they have any notions or knowledge of what it means to 'belong' to a location anymore. This is, I feel, a most damning indictment of negligence on the behalf of modern trends and teachings.

Surprised they missed the pocket of land in Wales that was not affected by glacial acticivy during hunter gathering, it was occupied for thousands of years and is one of the oldest sites that continued hunting and gathering when everyone else turned to farming. It's called Park Wood or coed y Parc if anyone would like to have a little look :)
