Chypraze submitted by chris-b : Chypraze from the South (Vote or comment on this photo)
This site has been hidden amongst gorze etc for years then a recent gorze fire left it exposed to view. It is now surrounded by a wire fence (probably to protect it from cattle?). It is no more than 20 metres NorthWest of the South West Peninsula Coast Path and is easily spotted.

It is listed in Vivien Russell's 'West Penwith Survey' as a Barrow in the parish of Morvah, and she describes it as "Part of ring of stones, cist near centre". Caution: 'ring of stones' does not imply 'stone circle'.


Note: Lost Cornish barrow with surrounding stone ring recently rediscovered following gorse fire.

After the fire earlier this year, the 'kist' outline was clearly visible but had obviously been dug a long time ago! There were interesting alignments of stones [walls?] in the vicinity.
