This is reason they never bothered about as it was theirs anyway. A few Celts here and nothing else. Would this be known as the Country of Cornwall back then?

If you don't, you look like you cant read. Only write. Refute\|Salute\|Mute but don't just dispute. Please read my Cornish diary at www.midcornwall.com

Just look at the sheer number of Iron Age settlements, forts, etc. throughout Cornwall, then try to tell us that there only 1000 people here. I'd put it as high as 30,000 - 40,000. The name Durocornovio, "fort of the Cornish" in the Roman Ravenna Cosmography tells you that the Cornish existed then and were recorded in that place name. The -cornov- (the Latin v is pronounced as a w)is our Kernow. So, recorded during the Roman occupation - identification of a distinct Cornish people.

I am looking to put a timeline on what the Cornish independent movement thinks has happened in the past it seems very hard to establish just when Cornwall was a Country. I have been reading much about the Romans today trying to find out just what they did around Cornwall. Take look at this http://www.romanmap.com/htm/ravcosm/rav.htm

The Dunmonii extended over an area roughly equivelant to our beloved Duke's landholdings or the nasty SWRDA's "South West Region". When sholars were scholars and seekers of truth!

Im not even sure why I replied. Muss be the "nice guy" in me (There is a joke in there) edited by: Midcornwall.com, Sep 24, 2007 - 09:13 PM Refute\|Salute\|Mute but don't just dispute.

Sirdhume - you have been told in considerable detail by many of us why Cornwall remains a nation, not a county. You choose not to take notice because, it seems, you have an inbuilt prejudice towards the viewpoint of the English state.

I am open to suggestions here if anyone thinks I should look elsewhere, like before this period. I am soon to visit to Magor Farm just outside Camborne has anyone been there and what can you tell about this place? Is there much to see?
