Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 13th Feb 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
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.

I find something magical about the process of creating a startrail picture. Sitting under the stars for three or four hours with no lights so my eyes have adjusted to the dark so well that I don't need any additional light. Gazing at the vastness of the universe, spotting meteors, satellites, aircraft, all in complete silence. I don't really sleep because ...

Creeg Tol

Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
Creeg Tol basin submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Mar 2004. This is the Creeg Tol basin (not the Giant's Footprints - they are on a big stone to the right of this).
It struck me that this would be a very suitable ceremonial site, standing here, using the basin to anoint some leader (possibly?), who may have stood on the natural platform just underneath it, (lower right in pic) in sight of Boscawen Un, (top centre) and - looking down upon the tiny Creeg Tol "circle". (Out of sight, below right).
The whole setting has a strange atmosphere. I almost won...

Chysauster Fogou
Date Added: 12th Feb 2020
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)

Chysauster Fogou submitted by enkidu41 on 26th Apr 2004. SW 4720 3483
Only 2 roofing lintels remain of this fogou associated with Chysauster Courtyard House village. The English Heritage response to the cost of restoration is sadly predictable.

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.

Carn Euny Fogou

Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 16th Sep 2019. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. This shot shows the huge but low (4.5ft - 1.4m) SE-facing doorway of the Carn Euny 'Beehive Hut' underground chamber, with its own short passage leading into the fogou passage which runs SW/NE, (but snaking here with a flatter, more W/E run), just outside the doorway. It is thought that the Beehive Hut (chamber) was the first structure on this site, so that originally the eastern wall of the fogou passage would not have obstructed the view. It is possible that the sun was meant to shine down t...

Log Text: Car parking is available at SX 64338 59551. From here head east along the path to SX 65778 59971 then head north along the Two Moors Way to the site.
Fieldwork identified a short sinuous line of stones leading from near an irregular cluster of stones which could represent the much truncated remains of a cairn or even a stone circle. This line of stones is unlikely to be natural because there is no surface stone in the vicinity but interpretation as a stone row seems on the basis of the available evidence should be considered uncertain. The row seems rather sinuous for such a short length and there has clearly been much disturbance in the area. Future fieldwork under more sympathetic vegetation conditions may provide an opportunity for a re-interpretation.
