Bradda Settlement

Archaeology

On the northern end of Bradda Head, overlooking Fleshwick Bay, are the remains of two enclosures interpreted as primitive cattle pens with an associated hut, thought to belong to the same broad period as the hut-circle remains at Mull Hill - the late Neolithic or Bronze Age, though some may be of more recent date. Bradda Head also shows evidence of copper ore and lead being worked at or near the surface during the Bronze Age, consistent with settlement activity in the area during prehistory.
