A GIANT LEAP......
...........from Motor World to
Stone Age World: come along to the project space in the centre of Camborne town, where for 2 weeks in November, we will making room for enquiry, discussion and play around such diverse, but linked, questions as :
Who owns the past anyway?
What did the Neoliths eat for breakfast?
Were they happier then?
The quoit rebuild:
Can we? May we? Should we?
Can we learn anything from the ancients which could better equip us to address pressing contemporary challenges, such as climate change?
Is it really a giant leap to a more sustainable world?

Carwynnen Quoit, also known as the Giants Quoit, sits in a field a few miles from the town of Camborne in Cornwall. It is thought to be a late Neolithic burial chamber, and the image above is a photograph of the quoit taken before it collapsed in 1967.
Neglected for decades, the quoit, which at present appears to the untrained eye as nothing more than pile of stones, was purchased recently by the Sustainable Trust, who are based near Praze-an-Beeble, Cornwall.
Sustrust is currently working closely with archaeologists and organisations such as English Heritage, and plans are afoot to try to restore the quoit and place it firmly back on Cornwall's cultural map. If supported, this will be a complex, and intriguing project, unfolding over the next few years.
