Neolithic and then Bronze Age people inhabited the Cornwall area as it is now known and later in the Iron age by Celts. Cornwall is located within the UK’s Brythonic Celtic region.

The Cornish people and the Danish were both involved in battle along with the people in Wessex, and there is some evidence to indicate that Wessex started to establish itself utilizing some of Cornwall’s Eastern areas. Regardless of this, though, the naming in Cornwall of together people and places did not conform more toward that of Wessex until some time later.
