Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
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.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Giant's Well (Trencrom) submitted by cazzyjane on 15th Jul 2010. A sweet but rather lonely little well, not helped by its metal cover and padlock. Rather less impressive than Trencrom Castle well found on the other side of the hill.

Mulfra Quoit
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Mulfra Quoit submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. Taken looking west at sunset. We only just made it to the quoit before the sun set, but were rewarded with spectacular ambience. Running up the bracken-covered hillside from the Try Vally, the quoit was hidden from view until we got very close to it. A lot of anticipation, capped by a pleasant surprise. Its not obvious where to park for access from the Try Valley, there is a shallow lay-by at SW454356.

Tregaminion Holy Well submitted by enkidu41 on 29th Apr 2004. SW 401359
Also referred to as Morvah Well this has only just been rediscovered and restored. Set some way back from the cliff edge it is beautifully situated - or would be if the detritus of the modern world was removed.

Tregeseal East
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Tregeseal East submitted by Andy B on 24th Mar 2010. Photo from June 2009. The cattle were supposed to trample down the bracken but only ate the grass within the circle, destabilising several stones that, after we reported it to the Historic Environment Service in Truro, had to be secured. The HES then organised a manual cutting of surrounding bracken to give the cattle more space away from the circle!
So far this is the only major site to be affected, others not yet being grazed although it is planned to do this at Men-an-Tol and Lanyon Quoit.

Boswens Menhir
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Boswens Menhir submitted by enkidu41 on 3rd Mar 2004. Boswens Menhir - a 2.6m high Bronze Age stone standing at the centre of a much denuded cairn. The stone seems to have been carefully placed as it is possible (just) to see many other megalithic sites from here including Lanyon Quoit, Chun Quoit, and Boskednan Circle. Perched on top it is also possible to see West Lanyon Quoit and Tregeseal Circle.
