Trevelgue Head
Date Added: 3rd Mar 2017
Site Type: Promontory Fort / Cliff Castle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Trevelgue Head submitted by AngieLake on 24th Feb 2006. Looking back from the 'island' of Trevelgue promontory fort, along its north edge, towards the eastern barrow, visible to the right of the hotels. It is a particularly nice place to visit in summer, with the pink 'Thrift' and the turquoise sea with its white breakers.

Date Added: 3rd Mar 2017
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Hurlers (C) submitted by Horatio on 24th Jun 2024. This stone I kept coming back to as a lovely lozenge shape and stood out amongst the more usual upright stones. Apart from its reduced size it wouldn't look amiss on West Kennet Avenue.

Piskey’s Hall – The Fairy’s Fogou
Date Added: 5th Apr 2017
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)

Visited: Yes on 1st Apr 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 1
Piskey’s Hall – The Fairy’s Fogou submitted by coin on 3rd Nov 2013. So... Getting to this site is a welcome voyage, arriving at the gate (higher than a normal one) I read a friendly sign- warning me of a bull... So the landowner obviously doesn't want people visiting this site. Climbing over the gate I am affronted with another welcoming feature- electric fence. Slipping under the offending wire, and edging around the field keeping an eye out for the bull of terror, I approach the mound if earth and stones. When I reach it, I am presented with another electric f...

Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 10th Dec 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 2nd May 2016. 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.

Boskednan Menhir 1
Date Added: 30th Apr 2017
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2027. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Boskednan Menhir 1 submitted by theCaptain on 14th Oct 2014. From my dim memories, I thought that the menhir was somewhere between the stone circle and the cairns along the path towards Men-an-Tol.
On the way back I notice indeed there is a stump and perhaps a fallen stone right on the pathway where I was expecting it, is it remains of a pair?
Pipers perhaps?

Boskednan A submitted by AngieLake on 15th Oct 2004. This view of the 'destroyed barrow'/cairn near Carn Galva, shows its alignment with Ding Dong mine on the horizon. Boskednan circle is on slightly lower ground not far from here, and on an alignment between the 'barrow'/cairn and the
mine building. The flat sides of the pointed stones face north/south. (This pic was taken at 4pm in March 2004).
The stones sit on a higher ridge at 227m.

Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)

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.

Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2027. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
The Hurlers submitted by dodomad on 22nd Nov 2016. Geological project co-ordinator Calum Beeson from Reading the Hurlers: "we've had volunteers carrying out geological surveys on the newly excavated stones and have found that one of the larger stones did not come from the immediate area and does not appear to have travelled there through natural processes. This suggests that it was carried to its current location by human activities". Further studies will continue to shed more light on this ancient site.

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.
