Brane Entrance Grave submitted by Hamish on 13th May 2004. SW401282 Nr Sancreed.
After looking at Sancreed Well have a look for this lovely little Chambered Tomb.
Just before the farm the road does a sharp turn right you can park here.Best to ask permission from the farmer because access is not easy.May is a good time to come ,the tomb has a nice blue hat.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Nov 2004
Burras submitted by hamish on 23rd Nov 2004. I was standing by the gate of the farm when a tractor came along the road and turned into the gate, I opened the gate for the farmer and he then walked up to the Menhir with me. He told me it had been re-erected and set in concrete.He tentively introduced dowsing into the conversation and became quite animated ( for a Cornishman ) when I told him I was a fellow dowser.

Visited: Yes on 24th May 2005
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.

Swingate D submitted by hamish on 30th May 2005. You can park by the cottage, opposite is a field gate usually surrounded by water, mud and things cows drop in the mud. A neat little stone which the farmer tells me is not a scratching post.

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2005
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.

Three Brothers of Grugith submitted by hamish on 21st Jun 2005. This is a b*&$%£ to find and the legs will never be the same again. Whoever introduced me to megalith hunting beware. The people at the garage looked on me as someone in need of care, and when I was stumbling through the gorse and heather I could see them pointing and laughing. So drive past the garage and take the first right park as soon as possible. Walk slowly down the right hand side of the road 'till you see a vague path ,this leads straight to the chamber. I did it differently and nearly...
