Truro experts uncover '6000-year-old' causeway


"Remains of a prehistoric enclosure have been discovered by archaeologists in Truro, Cornwall.

It is understood the enclosure was built during the early Neolithic period (3800 BC to 3600 BC).

Archaeologists say it was built at the same time as Carn Brea, a tor enclosure near Redruth.

The team will now take samples to verify the date of the enclosure, before re-burying the site, in line with national guidelines."
