Leaze stone circle submitted by knap on 5th Jul 2007. Leaze stone circle on a clear, sunny (my fair skin was red by the end of the day!) and very windy day. A beautiful location on Bodmin Moor, Kernow's best known moor land. Despite it's dilapidated state, this stone circle is well worth seeking out!

Wendron South submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Nov 2002. Wendron / Nine Maidens Stone Circles
SW683365
Parking in layby on the west side of the road opposite the footpath. The path was heavily rutted by cattle, indicating that if it was wet, this would be extremely boggy. Access is over a low point in the wall right next to the stones. Next time I visit I must read the guide books beforehand - two of the stones are actually set in the wall! One still in its original place, the other moved. The field was high with dock when I visited, and had to ...

Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 7th Jun 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 1987. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
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.

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.

Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Tyfos submitted by vicky on 7th Jun 2002. Tyfos Circle, Llandrillo, Denbighshire GR: SJ028388
This fantastic little circle lies in a farmer's field adjacent to a country lane near Llandrillo. Around 20 stones stand in a ring which has been described as either a denuded ringcairn or a free-standing stone circle. Although it is on private land it is well worth a visit and there are several gaps in the hedge making viewing easy.

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser on 23rd Feb 2002. This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian.
