Log Text: It is always disappointing to realise that practical considerations take precedence over the sanctity of an ancient site. Somebody thought it was easier to vandalise a stone circle rather than alter the course of a field boundary. At least the Sherberton Stone Circle has survived in its somewhat ruined state.

Log Text: There are two main difficulties in visiting Stalldown Row and its associated cairns:
1. Navigating the maze of narrow roads to Stall Moor.
2. Finding a safe place to park up safely close to Stall Moor

Stalldon Row submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2006. The northern end of the row has 4 wonderful large (2 metres plus) stones still standing, which can be seen from miles away all over the southern moor, and look in many ways like walkers on the hilltop.
Seen here looking to the north, the wild moorland stretches off into the distance.

Nine Stones (Altarnun) submitted by stonedowser on 1st Feb 2002. The circle at Altarnun is right out on the open moor and there is an excellent cairn circle not too far away, (if you can find it). As far as dowsing goes it is quite straightforward

Log Text: The flatness of the moor and the splendid isolation of Nine Stones (Altarnun) enhance this stone circle. One of the best sites in Cornwall!
