Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 21st Aug 2005
Boscawen Un submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. I should really keep this a secret! - the best time to visit Boscawen Un, on a quiet evening in May when bluebells are still carpeting the circle. Something to hang on to while we endure the bleak days of winter. (Don't tell anyone.......!)

Kingston Russell Circle
Trip No.10 Date Added: 19th Apr 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Dorset)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2005
Kingston Russell Circle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. Boxing Day 2004. Composite image, taken shortly after noon looking south-west. The field is currently being used as pasture, which means that access is muddy but at least the circle is not lost in crops. Lyme bay can be seen in the distance, and Abbotsbury hill-fort to the left of this.

Tregeseal East
Trip No.10 Date Added: 21st Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2005
Tregeseal East submitted by Andy B on 24th Mar 2010. Photo from June 2009. The cattle were supposed to trample down the bracken but only ate the grass within the circle, destabilising several stones that, after we reported it to the Historic Environment Service in Truro, had to be secured. The HES then organised a manual cutting of surrounding bracken to give the cattle more space away from the circle!
So far this is the only major site to be affected, others not yet being grazed although it is planned to do this at Men-an-Tol and Lanyon Quoit.

Merry Maidens (Circle)
Trip No.10 Date Added: 21st Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2005
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
Trip No.10 Date Added: 19th Apr 2011
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2005
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.

Chun Castle
Trip No.10 Date Added: 19th Apr 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2005
Chun Castle submitted by JimChampion on 13th May 2005. August 2004. Looking east from the hill fort, with the ruined stone walls (a more recent addition to the defences) in the foreground. Between here and the hill in the distance are several popular megalithic sites such as Lanyon Quoit, the Men-an-Tol and the Nine Maidens stone circle.
