Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2007
Goonhilly tumuli submitted by JimChampion on 26th Oct 2007. August 2007. In the distance, across the heath is a large heather-covered round barrow at grid reference SW72522158. I didn't get any closer as I was wearing shorts and the heath is covered with the evil cornish gorse that is ankle-high and very spiky. The dish in the background is "Arthur", the oldest of the satellite communication dishes at Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station.

Clitters Cairn
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 27th Oct 2007
Clitters Cairn submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2007. August 2007. This thorn tree protrudes from the rubble of Clitters Cairn. The hollow (on the right) in the centre of the cairn was created by antiquarian digging. Now the combination of tree and a 1 metre deep dip makes a good place for sheep to shelter on the bare moor.

Trewern Round submitted by JimChampion on 29th Aug 2008. An oval Iron Age enclosure, about 50 metres in diameter. The stone wall still survives under the hedge, and the whole thing is quite obvious from some distance away. Apologies for the quality of this picture, it was taken from some distance at full zoom, and it was very windy (no tripod!).

Churchyard Cross St Levan
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 29th Aug 2008
Churchyard Cross St Levan submitted by JimChampion on 29th Aug 2008. On the right, the tall churchyard cross; beyond and to the left the split St Levan Stone. I have read suggestions that the stone represents the female form and the cross represents the male form, or that the proximity of the Christian cross neutralises the pagan influence of the stone.

Maen Castle
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Maen Castle submitted by JimChampion on 31st Aug 2008. The name "Maen" Castle is from the Cornish for 'stone', and that describes it quite well. This exposed granite headland has many boulders and outcrops, and the promontory fort has little room for occupation. It is thought to be associated with field systems on the slope immediately to the east.
The headland in the distance is Dr Syntax's Head at Land's End, with the Longships rocks and lighthouse offshore.
