Halliggye Fogou
Halliggye Fogou is one of many fogous in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The site is under the guardianship of English Heritage, and managed by the Trelowarren Estate, where the fogou is located. Entry to the fogou is free but there is a charge to enter the rest of the Trelowarren Estate. The Halliggye Fogou consists of a long narrow tunnel leading to three sectioned chambers, and a window-like entrance which was dug in Victorian times by supposed treasure hunters (this has since been filled in). The complex of passages has a roof and walls of stone, and is the largest and best-preserved of several mysterious tunnels associated with Cornish Iron Age settlements. It was described by Sir Richard Vyvyan in his "Account of the ‘fogou’ or cave at Halligey, Trelowarren", in the ''Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall'' (1885, viii. 256–58) In 1861, J. T.

Mawgan Cross - Geograph
Mawgan and Meugan (also Meigant) (Latin: ''Mauganus'') are names referring to either one or two Brythonic saints who flourished in the 5th or 6th century. __NOTOC__ Both names are widely attested in place-names and church dedications, Mawgan in Cornwall and Brittany and Meugan in Wales, but it is uncertain whether the names refer to one and the same person. The parishes of St Mawgan and Mawgan-in-Meneage in Cornwall derive their names from Mauganus. There is also a Machan in West Lothian (Scotland), as shown by the place-name Ecclesmachan, but again this may be a distinct figure. No hagiographical ''Life'' survives for Mawgan or Meugan, but figures bearing Latinised versions of either of these names appear in the ''Lives'' of Cadog and David. A saint called Maucan or Moucan features in an episode of the late 11th-century ''Life'' of Cadog, in which he arbitrates a quarrel between Cadog and Maelgwn, king of Gwynedd.

Meneage
The Meneage ( kw, Menaghek or ''Manahek'') is a district in west Cornwall, United Kingdom. The nearest large towns are Falmouth and Penryn.

These may have been founded by missionaries from Brittany.

War Memorial At Mawgan Island - Geograph
War is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or paramilitary groups such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militias. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces. Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general. Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant suffering and casualties. While some war studies scholars consider war a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue it is a result of specific socio-cultural, economic or ecological circumstances. Etymology The English word ''war'' derives from the 11th-century Old English words ''wyrre'' and ''werre'', from Old French ''werre'' (also ''guerre'' as in modern French), in turn from the Frankish *''werra'', ultimately deriving from the Proto-Germanic *''we ...
