Craig Weatherhill, writing in 'Cornovia' gives "SW 356312" as the Ord Survey map ref. "1 mile W of St Just, take lane signposted 'Carn Gloose'. The site lies by roadside on clifftop".
"This large, complex, multi-phase monument is unique. It consists of a large closed chamber within a central cone-shaped cairn, the latter being surrounded by a later collar or cairn-ring. The central chamber contained a number of stone cists and a T-shaped ritual pit; this alone remains. Two further cists can still be seen in the narrow space between the central cairn and the collar which contains a smaller chamber, again with a pit cut into its floor. Set into the outside of the collar, on the south-west side, is an entrance grave with two capstones in place. It is probable that a conventional Scillonian chamber tomb of neolithic type was the first structure here, followed in the Middle Bronze Age by the central cairn and its cists, and finally by the collar which incorporated the original mound and chamber of the entrance grave. The top of the central cairn is now missing, but the cairn survives to a height of 2.7m. The entire monument has diameters of 21.4m and 20.4m."
I think this book is invaluable to megalith-hunters in Cornwall.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
