==Archaeology== In the late 1990s, aerial photography by archaeologists revealed a number of circular and semi-circular crop marks in two clifftop fields near Lellizzick. Metal detectorists also discovered flints and pottery from the Mesolithic period as well as later artefacts from the post-Roman period.<ref name=wa>[http://www.wessexarch.co.uk/reports/65312/lellizzick-padstow Report on Lellizzick investigation] Wessex Archaeology.

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.<ref>[http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/T/timeteam/2008/padstow/index.html Padstow] Channel Four Television website.
