Also referred to as Morvah Well this has only just been rediscovered and restored. Set some way back from the cliff edge it is beautifully situated - or would be if the detritus of the modern world was removed.

Tregeseal East
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Tregeseal East submitted by Andy B on 24th Mar 2010. Photo from June 2009. The cattle were supposed to trample down the bracken but only ate the grass within the circle, destabilising several stones that, after we reported it to the Historic Environment Service in Truro, had to be secured. The HES then organised a manual cutting of surrounding bracken to give the cattle more space away from the circle!
So far this is the only major site to be affected, others not yet being grazed although it is planned to do this at Men-an-Tol and Lanyon Quoit.

St Nectan's Well (Stoke)
Date Added: 25th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Stoke) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. St Nectan’s Well is on the site of the hut where the 6th century Welsh hermit, St Nectan, is said to have returned carrying his head after being set upon by thieves who beheaded him.
Graffiti on the wooden door and the very ugly new steel grille indicate that today there is still a vandal problem but fortunately they now tend to deface rather than dehead.
A signed path from the main road follows a stream down to the well.

Boswens Menhir
Date Added: 30th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Boswens Menhir submitted by enkidu41 on 3rd Mar 2004. Boswens Menhir - a 2.6m high Bronze Age stone standing at the centre of a much denuded cairn. The stone seems to have been carefully placed as it is possible (just) to see many other megalithic sites from here including Lanyon Quoit, Chun Quoit, and Boskednan Circle. Perched on top it is also possible to see West Lanyon Quoit and Tregeseal Circle.
