The Hurlers Pipers
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 31st Oct 2006
The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 31st Oct 2006. August 2006, on a rainy afternoon close by the Hurlers stone circle. The Pipers in monochrome, since the natural colours were so desaturated anyway. A very exposed location. Cornish folklore question: Why would you have pipers at a hurling game?

The Sanctuary. submitted by JimChampion on 10th May 2005. February 2005. Looking over the Sanctuary site, from the Avenue entrance. The modern ambience is a bit weird, like Woodhenge, with the little concrete markers showing where several phases of posts/stones once stood.

Toothill Camp submitted by JimChampion on 23rd Jan 2005. January 2005. Early morning view of Toothill Camp from Hoe Lane to the north. The area is busy with high-voltage electricity lines. The mature redwoods growing on the site are clearly visible, but its not possible to get close enough to see the defences.

Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2005
Tredinney Cairn submitted by JimChampion on 25th Aug 2005. Looking south at the cairn from the footpath across Tredinney Common. In the distance is the ever-present tower of St Buryan's church. Nice enough view from here, but I imagine its a pretty blustery place for most of the year.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)

Tregeseal East submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. Composite image. The granite outcrop of Carn Kenidjack towers over this pleasant stone circle. This is a very wide open landscape and the Dancing stones seem very small in it. The variety of colours in the landscape are amazing at this time of year.

Trethevy Quoit
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Aug 2007
Trethevy Quoit submitted by JimChampion on 15th Aug 2007. Two-photo composite image of Trethevy Quoit. I was surprised to find that the quoit was right next to a row of houses, probably for two reasons. One - the other quoits I'd visited (in West Penwith) were all in fairly remote locations. Two - all the photographs I'd previously seen of it had been carefully composed in order to avoid or hide the houses. Here it is in all its back-garden glory.

Trewern Round
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 29th Aug 2008
Trewern Round submitted by JimChampion on 29th Aug 2008. An oval Iron Age enclosure, about 50 metres in diameter. The stone wall still survives under the hedge, and the whole thing is quite obvious from some distance away. Apologies for the quality of this picture, it was taken from some distance at full zoom, and it was very windy (no tripod!).
