In fact, the pub is believed to have been built by monks in the twelfth century around the menhir. As the pub website says "A very interesting part of the house is the small lounge behind the bar.

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: The third time I've visted the site, still as magical - to the north, but not far (I believe) of the stones under a bush is a small plastic box with a local schools story of how the stones arrived there. Wonderful little surprise!
Of course, a friend and I went through the stone several times to make sure we wouldn't get any rickets.

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.

Log Text: Very brief stop - easily accesible by car (just over a stile into the enclosure from a layby). Gorgeous stones with an information panel installed to give some light history on them and a translation of the inscriptions. Very worth a stop by.
