Boskednan A
Date Added: 20th Feb 2023
Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 1
Boskednan A submitted by AngieLake on 15th Oct 2004. This view of the 'destroyed barrow'/cairn near Carn Galva, shows its alignment with Ding Dong mine on the horizon. Boskednan circle is on slightly lower ground not far from here, and on an alignment between the 'barrow'/cairn and the
mine building. The flat sides of the pointed stones face north/south. (This pic was taken at 4pm in March 2004).
The stones sit on a higher ridge at 227m.

Boskednan Menhir 1

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)

Boskednan Menhir 1 submitted by theCaptain on 14th Oct 2014. From my dim memories, I thought that the menhir was somewhere between the stone circle and the cairns along the path towards Men-an-Tol.
On the way back I notice indeed there is a stump and perhaps a fallen stone right on the pathway where I was expecting it, is it remains of a pair?
Pipers perhaps?

Log Text: A very sad little stump, it's ambience is definitely enhanced by the Boskednan stone circle behind it.
Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 20th Feb 2023
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 1
Boskednan stone circle submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The portal stones illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun. The tallest one (on the left) has a diagonal groove present on this and the opposite side. The holes that the restored stones were raised from have been covered with pegged down foliage, presumably to encourage regrowth on the bare earth.

St Wendronas submitted by KiwiBetsy on 15th Oct 2006. St Wendronas' Well sits beside a small stream at the bottom of a field beside the A394. Leave Helston on the A394 heading towards Trewennack. Pass the Caravan Park on the left and pull into the gateway of Trelil Farm cottage and farm sheds on your right. With the farm buidings on your right, to your left is a field that slopes down to a steam. Head down to the stream and away from the road to the north eastern corner of the field. The well is just over the gate in the next field.
