Kenidjack Common holed stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
Kenidjack Common holed stones submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Described as Kenidjack Holed Stones in Ian McNeil Cooke's book, Journey to the Stones, this was my first view late afternoon (slightly dull then), looking approximately west from the largest one towards the other two that remain standing. Apparently they were re-erected after the mid-19th century.

Duloe
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
Duloe submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. This huge dramatic stone in the south of Duloe circle was constantly haunting me as I surveyed and dowsed this lovely circle (why only 3 for ambience?) one sunny early evening at the end of May 2005. I was convinced someone else was there, just out of the corner of my eye, but it was the almost-human shape of this stone - like some kind of ancient priest in a billowing robe! In the left half of this double pic, where 'he''s facing us, you can almost decipher a face and headdress too. On the righ...

St Piran's Cross
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
St Piran's Cross submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Not the easiest cross to find, but well-worth it. I believe I read that this is the only three-holed cross in Cornwall, but it looks to me as if it just wasn't finished. This close-up was taken in June 2005, one sunny evening. Harder to find was nearby St Piran's Lost Oratory, now buried and marked with a slab of granite. From this cross, head towards the huge modern cross on the sand-dunes. The sprawling campsite at Perranporth spoils the views here.

Holywell Bay
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Sep 2005
Holywell Bay submitted by AngieLake on 12th Sep 2005. "Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me......"
I would like to dedicate this Holywell Bay sunset to all those poor souls who perished in 'Nine Eleven'. If the Earth lasts out for another four thousand years someone might be investigating what our generation did, and what monuments we left behind. The former 'Twin Towers' of Manhattan, and the ensuing 'Ground Zero' would be well-documented, but I wonder how they will access their historic records then? Meanwhile, to help to ensur...

Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2006
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by AngieLake on 6th Jan 2006. This arc of the Merry Maidens is bathed in light from the setting sun on May 25th 2005. The nearest stone to the camera was approximately at the ESE of the circle, and such an unusual shape compared to the other more rectangular ones that I christened it the 'Goddess Stone', as it has the curvy shape of a female torso and was the focus of the final part of my ritual movement dowsing exercise. (The first part of the movement addressed 290 degs - sunward - on a short looping walk out of the circle...

Visited: Yes on 10th Jan 2006
Tregeseal East submitted by AngieLake on 10th Jan 2006. A photo of Tregeseal East circle with Carn Kendijack in the distance, taken May 2005. Sorry about the sky - it's only a compilation of photos, but thought it might be worth having for the records!

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 10th Jan 2006
Sancreed Well submitted by AngieLake on 10th Jan 2006. Here's the May Tree in full blossom covered in clouties and in the foreground, between the ferns, is the mouth of the holy well. May is definitely the month to visit!

Trevelgue Barrows
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Barrow Cemetery
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 24th Feb 2006
Trevelgue Barrows submitted by AngieLake on 24th Feb 2006. An interesting shot of the two barrows - high on the skyline - on Trevelgue Downs, taken from the old footpath from St Columb Minor near Newquay. This path leads up a lane near the church towards Porth, where Trevelgue promontory fort can be found. It's a pleasant walk along a fenced lane between fields, then down tracks through a field (here) sloping towards the coast. These barrows are on the cliff edge of the next headland to the north of the promontory fort.

Drift Stones
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jun 2006
Drift Stones submitted by AngieLake on 1st Jun 2006. Drift Stones photographed from a position near the field gateway on 23rd May 2006. If you are planning to visit these stones please note that a new crop is just sprouting in this field. I was lucky when I visited and dowsed in March 2004, as it was all grass then. (The dowsing results were unique in my experience, by the way.)
If you look really closely Tresvennack Pillar is the tall white thing under the pyramid-shaped bump in the hedge, centre far left.

Halliggye
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 4th Jul 2006
Halliggye submitted by AngieLake on 4th Jul 2006. When I visited in May 2006 there was too much mud in the passage to try making an entry. Even with boots on I'd have been in peril of slipping up on my bum! This shows the area's fencing. Would hate to stumble across a hole like this in the dark!

Zennor Quoit
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 18th Oct 2006
Zennor Quoit submitted by AngieLake on 18th Oct 2006. One more shot that is slightly different. The Quoit is so enthralling artistically, that even a slight move reveals another great design.
You can see how prolific the bracken was, but I was also delighted to see lots of wild cornflowers growing around its base.

Trencrom
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 18th Oct 2006
Trencrom submitted by AngieLake on 18th Oct 2006. Looking approximately NNW across the plateau of Trencrom Hill towards what could be the Gorsedd rocks of this ancient settlement. It is neatly framed in the dip of the distant hills, and could have marked the Midwinter Solstice sunset.
(The pits of the hut circles in Jim Champion's photo lie across the centre of this view.)

Chun Quoit submitted by AngieLake on 22nd Oct 2006. A view of the rear of Chun Quoit, showing the exaggerated tilt of the capstone, like a jaunty Frenchman's beret.

Churchyard Cross St Levan
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2006
Churchyard Cross St Levan submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2006. Looking down onto the entrance of St Levan's churchyard from the ancient church path. The back of the little round cross is just visible in the top left corner of this photo. You can see the rare coffin rest in the centre of the entrance, and one of the granite 'settles' (there's also one on the opposite side). I expect the bearers, who'd often walked several miles, were glad to sit here and get their breath back before carrying their late friend into church! You can also see the granite 'ca...
