Log Text: Lovely spot at the southern end of the Island, the walk though short can be pretty steep so stout footwear recommended.

Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 7th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 1987. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 7th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 1987. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Boskednan stone circle submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The portal stones illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun. The tallest one (on the left) has a diagonal groove present on this and the opposite side. The holes that the restored stones were raised from have been covered with pegged down foliage, presumably to encourage regrowth on the bare earth.

Wendron South submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Nov 2002. Wendron / Nine Maidens Stone Circles
SW683365
Parking in layby on the west side of the road opposite the footpath. The path was heavily rutted by cattle, indicating that if it was wet, this would be extremely boggy. Access is over a low point in the wall right next to the stones. Next time I visit I must read the guide books beforehand - two of the stones are actually set in the wall! One still in its original place, the other moved. The field was high with dock when I visited, and had to ...

Leaze stone circle submitted by knap on 5th Jul 2007. Leaze stone circle on a clear, sunny (my fair skin was red by the end of the day!) and very windy day. A beautiful location on Bodmin Moor, Kernow's best known moor land. Despite it's dilapidated state, this stone circle is well worth seeking out!

The triangular stone on the southern side, with a couple of its fellow stumps in the northern arc seen on the skyline. Pity about the china clay works.

King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

Goodaver submitted by mattimpey on 9th Mar 2009. Several of the stones appear to have an undercut, whether this is due to weathering, the stones being re-errected upside down, or a feature of the circle I do not know.
