Lellizzick is a farmstead settlement in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately one mile (1.6km) north of Padstow on the lane from Crugmeer to Hawkers Cove[1].
A gated vehicle track leads north from Lellizzick to the National Coastwatch Institution watch station on Stepper Point. A permissive footpath leads south to Tregirls beach.
In the late 1990s, aerial photography by archaeologists revealed a number of circular and semi-circular crop marks in two clifftop fields near Lellizick. Metal detectorists also discovered flints and pottery from the Mesolithic period as well as later artefacts from the post-Roman period[2].
In October 2007, the Channel 4 television series Time Team visited Lellizzick to investigate the site and the features revealed by the earlier aerial photography were confirmed by a geophysics survey. The resulting television programme, titled From Constantinople to Cornwall, was broadcast in March 2008 (see List of episodes). The excavation and investigation revealed a roundhouse settlement[3][4].
