Thus, around 600[[CE]] St.Piran's Oratory was founded, on Penhale Sands, and was later to be buried under those same sands, thereby preserving it until the [[19th century]].

		⚫	In or around 577CE a [[battle]] ("Doerham Down") near [[Bristol]], resulting in a [[Saxon]] victory, led to the separation off of the Welsh from the Cornish or West Welsh. A century later, with the arrival of the "English" at the Bristol Channel the separation became physical and enforced.
