Log Text: I don’t quite know how I have never been to visit this before, and it takes a bit of finding, despite the fact it can be seen from a long way away on the hilltop, the problem is finding a path through the chest high gorse and brambles which takes you to it. I eventually got to it from Sperris Quoit via several long zig zag pathways, probably walking three times the distance to it as would be how the chough flies ! Wow, this is a big old thing, far bigger than I was expecting. Makes me wonder what it was all like originally, before part of it was destroyed, the capstone fell and the other alterations. This is a lovely spot up here, lots of blue scabious? flowering all around, birds singing and insects buzzing. I try a few “arty” pictures using the shadows and gaps in the stones.

Craddock Moor circle

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2009
Craddock Moor circle submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2009. gps track plot of my wanderings round Craddock Moor stone circle on Sunday. Many of the stones can be seen in the picture.
I use an ageing Garmin etrex Venture pocket reciever, and the track is plotted out using GPSVisualizer, with only a few minutes fiddling.
I find it amazing the results that can now be obtained for things like this, using cheap, readily available technology, in a pocketsized device.
