The name Cornwall is most likely derived from the tribal name 'Cornovii' which probably means the 'horn people' - the horn referring to their location at the end of the south-western peninsula.
To this the Anglo-Saxons added 'Wealas' meaning 'foreigners'. This is also the derivation of the name of the country Wales.
Cornwall was first settled by hunter-gatherers in around 10,000 BC - the mid Stone Age. It is during the Bronze age that the early Cornish created most of the ancient stones that are found through out the county.
It is towards the end of the Bronze Age that settlements become well defined and farming replaces hunting as the main provider of food. The Iron Age sees a further refinement of farming with the introduction of iron tools.
The various ancient sites that dot the landscape of Cornwall date from as far back as 20 thousand years or the middle of the Stone Age.
Most of the Stone Age henges and megaliths (circles and standing stones), were constructed between 10,000 and 2,500 years BC. Many fine examples can be found on Bodmin Moor in the east of Cornwall and the moors of Penwith in the west.Noteable examples include the Stripple Stones near Bodmin Moor, Lanyon Quoit near Penzance and Men-an-Tol
