I find something magical about the process of creating a startrail picture. Sitting under the stars for three or four hours with no lights so my eyes have adjusted to the dark so well that I don't need any additional light. Gazing at the vastness of the universe, spotting meteors, satellites, aircraft, all in complete silence. I don't really sleep because ...

Log Text: This stone is marked on the OS map as The Long Stone.
At a glance it would appear that Moorgate Stone is a solitary stone in the middle of a field but you soon realise that it is much, much more. Alongside it is a rough patch of land with two more upright stones and a circle of fallen and broken stones. They are large, flat-bottomed stones and certainly not stones cleared from the field. There is a stone bank that divides the site. The site has an almost 360 degree view typical of many other stone circles. To stumble on this on our first day in Cornwall was more exciting than I can tell you.

The Hurlers North submitted by theCaptain on 25th Jan 2014. Possible newly recognised fourth stone circle to the north of the three well known Hurlers circles.
A few stones slightly poke through the turf, with others hidden, and with an "eye of faith" a circle can be made out.

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.
