Log Text: Absolutely gorgeous stone with bright clear carvings. There's a informational card at the base of the stone for local insight into how it came to be in the church. The church itself is also absolutely stunning with two stone crosses in its gardens and old wall paintings within the church that survived whitewashing.

Sueno's Stone submitted by Cosmic on 9th Nov 2003. Another view of the Sueno Pictish Stone at NJ046595. The largest stone we've ever seen - enclosed in perspex case to protect it - only yards away from A96 Dual carriageway and yet how many people ever notice it?

Auldearn Stone Circle submitted by Cosmic on 8th Jan 2004. I was only able to find these two stones in a garden. This is supposed to be a stone circle, but unfortunately there was no one at home to ask for information.

Log Text: Gorgeous stone that’s very easy to find with the driveway to Brodie castle going right past it, makes for fab access. There’s an info plaque that’s brief but still great, ogham is unfortunately incredibly faded away.

Log Text: A very easy to access site (and one that I'd consider hidden in plain sight - driven past many times and not realised the history of the area). Sight from top of one of the barrows is gorgeous and from there it is easy to spot the other two further along. Has an information board on the way in if coming from the town side that's weathered but has a lot of information about the area.

Log Text: Lovely well! Shame the door was locked, holding a phone camera up to the gaps in the door there's some view but I would've loved to see what it's like open. The door carving is delightful and in great condition, and a plaque on the wall states it's been there since the 6th Century.

Ventongassick submitted by KiwiBetsy on 17th Oct 2006. Steps lead down into the well which sits below ground level. It appeared to have been fitted with a pump but had a deep pool of water.

Log Text: Very risky if care is not taken - cars whip by increidbly fast. Lovely well with steps going down, the water is audiable even running deeper than the well walls suggest. Take care when wet - leaves make it slippy :-)

Visited Wednesday 19th June 2002
Take the road south through Mabe Burnthouse (SW of A39, W of Penryn & Falmouth). When the church becomes clearly visible, take the junction to the right on a sharp bend. The church is on the left and convenient parking adjacent the cemetery.
There is a narrow squeeze through a hole in the wall, into a very old-feeling graveyard; the midsummer canopy of the trees giving it a very dark entry. Following the tarmac path, th...

Log Text: Gorgeous spot, quiet and high enough for a view across Penwith. Has a very wonderful 'vibe' to it, old and quiet and the same contemplative place as a modern graveyard. Bit of a pain to find as it's low to the ground and grassy, but not impossible if you follow the track.
