That the sea has played havoc with this coast is indicated by the fact that a church has been dug out of the sand at St. Enodoc ; that a cemetery of the Iron Age has been discovered in Harlyn Bay ; and another church found in the sands of Constantine Bay, which is bounded by Trevose Head, with its Lighthouse.
