Description Looking down on the mysterious site of Creeg Tol circle near Boscawen Un, on 23rd May 2006. The undergrowth has overtaken the small circle. (The picture I posted previously is under Gallery/England/Cornwall. At that time, it was the most scary place I'd ever been.) The rocks above it are known as The Giant's Footprints, because of the footprint-shaped rock basins, and it is within half a mile of Crows an Wra (Witches' Cross), and just off the footpath to Boscawen Un from the Lands End road, via the lay-by (not farm). I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had strange experiences here when accessible.

It seems that Creeg Tol has also been referred to as "Carn Boscawen" in the past. It is mentioned in connection with natural/artificial rock basins in Popular Romances of the West of England collected and edited by Robert Hunt [1903, 3rd edition]

Thanks for this link Jim. Very interesting, and also features many other sites on the Portal.
