St Levan's Well submitted by hamish on 24th May 2005. It was a day with mist cover, a bit dangerous under foot and a long drop to the sea. It was exhilerating and well worth the effort.

West Woods Long Barrow submitted by hamish on 29th May 2005. It is really quite large, must have been something to see in its day. Excavations in the late 19th century reveiled a central cairn within the barrow covering a Dolmen.There was no pottery or human remains.

Sancreed Well submitted by hamish on 31st May 2005. This place is known locally as the Crone Well, I like to think the oracle or Guardian of the well lived here when they weren't burned for their knowledge. It is glorious at this time of the year, nature going riot.
