==History==
In pre-historic times, a fogou was constructed near Trewardreva: no-one knows its purpose.
The ancient name of Constantine, "Langostentyn", implies that the settlement was monastic, with the "Lan" prefix. Dr Lynette Olson (1989)〔''Early monasteries in Cornwall'', page 105〕 has examined literary and archaeological evidence for all early monastic establishments in Cornwall and found significant doubts about the religious nature of Constantine before the Norman Conquest.
