Lower Porthmeor

Lower Porthmeor is a township, or farm hamlet, typical of this area of West Penwith, where sometimes as many as four houses are grouped round a single farmyard. The houses are not themselves of great age, but they represent a tradition as old as the tiny stone-hedged fields in which they stand, fields that have scarcely changed since the Iron Age.
