How bronze-age man made a cup of tea.

A whole lot of cups of tea.

Welcome to the Meur burnt mound.

It's at risk from coastal erosion, so it's being excavated, recorded and then being dug up and relocated in a hole in the ground beside the heritage centre.

Archaeologists can't be absolutely sure what they were built for three thousand years ago. If you had already had pots and fire, why would you put your water in big stone basin and drop hot rocks into it?

Unless you were big into collecting shattered rocks.
