Log Text: A mixed weather forecast for today, and after some horrendous rain, it stops so I go for an extensive exploration of Trehudreth Down, with its standing stones and stone row. Apart from the standing stone to the south, nothing much is readily seen, so I resort to using my GPS, and eventually find a long fallen stone, possibly the northeastern end. I find about 5 more stumps and little stones spaced out in a southwestern direction, but then anything of the stone row is hard to find, and a large herd of cattle with their young, mean I keep away from much of the central part it. I pass well clear of the cows and further on I find a sort of stone setting, which I think is what I have called Trehudreth Downs B stone setting. Further west, and a see about half a dozen evenly spaced stones in a haphazard row descending the slope, which matches to the western end of the row on the map. Without seeing anything between the eastern and western ends, it wouldnt surprise me if it was two seperate rows, as the two ends do not really line up with each other.

Trehudreth Downs C submitted by Bladup on 16th Jul 2015. These stones are to be found a little to the north of the last photo at SX125727. They may be a row but the way they've fallen they look more likely the remains of a circle.

Log Text: Further south can be seen another standing stone at the top of the hill, which to get to means passing over a shaped stoney area, perhaps cairns, perhaps some long fallen buildings. The big stone stands proudly, a bit taller than myself. Near to it are two other similar stones, now prone on the ground making a short row of three.

Trehudreth Downs B submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Jul 2022. In about what should be the middle of the stone row I find a sort of stone setting. There is a standing stone stump, with a few other bits arranged in a square around it, and is certainly not natural.

Once home, looking in my Bodmin Moor survey, and I find it is included as a stone setting in there.

Log Text: One of several ancient sites around here, none of them clearly marked on my 1:50000 map. Having parked at Treddiog, I walked along the bridleway to the west, about 300 yards along the track and saw this stone on top of a little hillock in the field to the south. It looks to be broken off, and would once have been much more substantial. At the time I didn't know of the others to be found around here, it was very wet and getting dark, so a quick return to the car was in order! Turns out the stone was dynamited and still has drill holes as a reminder of its fate.

Tregiffian Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 28th Feb 2004. Tregiffian Barrow.
Not the best photo of this nice barrow, but this picture shows its situation quite well. Not only can the road which cuts through its back be seen (thankfully the road straightening in the the 1960's was not completed), but in the background of the photo can be seen the Merry Maidens stone circle. And the Gun Rith menhir lives in the field to the left of the road.

Country: England (Cornwall)

Tregeseal East submitted by thecaptain on 28th Feb 2004. Tregeseal Stone Circle, July 2003
The circle was completely surrounded by gorse, ferns and other growth, which made getting to the stones practically impossibe. Getting a photo was difficult too. To get this picture I had to climb on top of the wall surrounding the field the circle is in.
Surely these monuments deserve better treatment

Tregeseal Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2008. The view of Tregeseal Barrow from the trackway which leads to the common land and stone circle.
Its all a bit overgrown, and I didn't have time to look for a way to visit it properly.

Tregarrick Tor cairn submitted by thecaptain on 21st Oct 2009. The southern outcrop of Tregarrick Tor, with its "tor cairn" built up to it on the right hand slopes, and also the strange stone setting type arrangement in the foreground.
Is it part of a cairn internal structure or perhaps a separate stone setting of some kind.

Tréfoux deux menhirs submitted by thecaptain on 19th Sep 2008. Near to a corner in the road are two standing rocks, which are clearly not naturally like that. One is about 1 metre tall, the other about 1.2 metres tall.

Log Text: Marked on my ign map to the southeast of Bagneux are menhirs. Driving along the little road that passes them is lots of what looks like natural stone outcropping, and perhaps the remains of a dolmen. However, near to a corner in the road are two standing rocks, which are clearly not naturally like that. One is about 1 metre tall, the other about 1.2 metres tall. Around them are many more rocks. It is not difficult to see what is perhaps an alignment of 5 or 6 rocks with others fallen. Or perhaps it is the remains of an allée couverte type structure. I am not sure exactly what is going on here, but it is a nice spot in the forest. A bit further along the road to the west is what seems to be the remains of another fallen menhir or two.

Across the circle to the bay - it may be modern, but it is a wonderfully pleasant spot to think away the modern world!

Treen Entrance Grave (SW) submitted by thecaptain on 14th Oct 2008. This little known gem is a superb Scillonian entrance grave, in an approximately 8 metre circular barrow, with its 4 metre long passageway almost complete.
Viewed here looking north eastwards - is that Zennor hill in the distance ?

Treen Entrance Grave (NW) submitted by thecaptain on 14th Oct 2008. Supposedly, the chamber of this barrow is still in existence, facing towards the southwest, with a single capstone remaining.
However, at the time of my visit, Sept 2008, this barrow was completely overgrown, and the land around it being used for dumping stuff.

Log Text: About 30 metres from the Barraque-des-Fourniols statue-menhir, up the entry path towards the museum, is planted this menhir. Obviously broken in the past, it has been put back together from several pieces with the aid of concrete. It has been quite nicely done. It is about 1.6 metres high.

Visited: Yes on 6th Dec 2014
Treburrick menhir submitted by theCaptain on 6th Dec 2014. On returning from the stone, there was a lovely old chap sat on the farm wall, wanting a chat. He told us that there used to be 5 stones standing around here. Of the other four, he said:
"One (upstream from the remaining stone) was pulled up by the new man in the farm over there when he moved in a few years back, don't know what he did that for, they do no harm, and I think they should be left where they be, its not for us to mess with these old things".
"One of them fell over, it was too b...
