St Breock Beacon Kistvaen
Date Added: 5th Mar 2023
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 1
St Breock Beacon Kistvaen submitted by theCaptain on 17th Dec 2012. Having another attempt from a more easterly position, I managed to get through the waist high gorse and brambles, while at times I found myself in water almost up to my knees! The things we stonehunters put ourselves through.
When I eventually got to the stones, I couldn't see much, as the surrounding area was so waterlogged and they are so overgrown, but it is clear they are a megalithic construction.

Log Text: I had difficulty in locating St Breock Beacon Kistvaen on my revisit. The thick vegetation lining the path to the trig point made an approach from here impossible. After some perseverance I found a way in from the road running W past Beacon Farm road end. Walk 40 yards W of the Beacon Farm road end to reach a vague path heading S into briars and gorse bushes. Head S towards a small gap between gorse and taller brushwood. After a 10 yard scramble through gorse and briars I reached a clear spot containing the ancient stones.

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.

1. Navigating the maze of narrow roads to Stall Moor.

Standing Stone of Bagbie submitted by vicky on 29th Oct 2002. This single standing stone sits in a field at NX498562 but to the south of, and part of, a complex containing a cairn, four poster stone circle and stone pair.
