Auldearn Stone Circle submitted by Cosmic on 8th Jan 2004. I was only able to find these two stones in a garden. This is supposed to be a stone circle, but unfortunately there was no one at home to ask for information.

Balnuaran of Clava (Stone) submitted by Cosmic on 6th Jan 2004. NH758446
Standing stone to East of Balnuaran of Clava Cairns - only about two hundred yards away but not on OS Map.
Access is along a long straight country lane (from the East, West end blocked off) that was probably drive way to a big house - trees either side.
Stone itself about six feet high.

Log Text: Seen from the road on the drive to the Clava Cairn carpark & then again from the picnic area near on the other side of the carpark from the stones. Gorgeous flat face and was light up quite beautifully by the setting sun.

Log Text: A very easy to access site (and one that I'd consider hidden in plain sight - driven past many times and not realised the history of the area). Sight from top of one of the barrows is gorgeous and from there it is easy to spot the other two further along. Has an information board on the way in if coming from the town side that's weathered but has a lot of information about the area.

Log Text: Gorgeous spot, quiet and high enough for a view across Penwith. Has a very wonderful 'vibe' to it, old and quiet and the same contemplative place as a modern graveyard. Bit of a pain to find as it's low to the ground and grassy, but not impossible if you follow the track.

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.

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?

Log Text: A very sad little stump, it's ambience is definitely enhanced by the Boskednan stone circle behind it.

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.

Boskenna Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 15th Nov 2004. The shot shows the principal face of the cross with its depiction of Christ.
The three-part base is out of all proportion to the cross. The look of stability is deceptive given its three damaging brushed with modern traffic!

Boskenna Crosses submitted by cazzyjane on 18th Jun 2012. Boskenna Cross 2. SW4195 2418. Found beside a footpath one field north west of Boskenna Gate Cross.
Only the cross head is ancient and has a broad- limbed cross on it which is very difficult to make out. It leans against the hedge and is often lost behind the brambles and foliage. Unfortunately there is also a lot of rubble around its base.

Log Text: Two options for access - via a long trail from a road that seems to be used by vehicles frequently, or an incredibly muddy slog on a trial that continues across a road to The Gump in the other direction. Visited after there'd been some considerable lichen growth and couldn't entirely see the carvings, but still a lovely stone.
