Boskenna Crosses
Date Added: 18th Sep 2022
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Would like to visit
Boskenna Crosses submitted by cazzyjane on 18th Jun 2012. Boskenna Cross 2. SW4195 2418. Found beside a footpath one field north west of Boskenna Gate Cross.
Only the cross head is ancient and has a broad- limbed cross on it which is very difficult to make out. It leans against the hedge and is often lost behind the brambles and foliage. Unfortunately there is also a lot of rubble around its base.

Log Text: Stunning Menhir standing out alone close to The Gump (Woon Gumpus Common) - I expect it to get a lot more foot traffick after Enys Men, however during my visit it was absolutely empty and nobody around for kilometers.

Log Text: Visted Lanyon Quoit many times but this was my first time here - absolutely stunning example of a quoit. Humbling to consider this was considered ancient by the folks that built the hill fort, spent a lot of time sitting and trying to take stone rubbings of it.

Log Text: Quite easy to reach from a trail start right near a road, gorgeous barrow with a chambered area that's almost invisible until you're on top of the barrow or at the right angle outside of the stone perimiter.

Log Text: Two options for access - via a long trail from a road that seems to be used by vehicles frequently, or an incredibly muddy slog on a trial that continues across a road to The Gump in the other direction. Visited after there'd been some considerable lichen growth and couldn't entirely see the carvings, but still a lovely stone.

Log Text: Did not intend to find this - saw it while walking along a track that's used as an access road to various points. Gorgeous well with easy access to view it from the road, and solid steps to go down to the water level.

Four Parishes Rock
Date Added: 20th Feb 2023
Site Type: Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Feb 2023. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
Four Parishes Rock submitted by Bladup on 4th Dec 2017. Four Parishes Rock, I believe the right hand side of this stone is a slightly different colour because it was once in the ground (for a long time), therefore making this a former Standing Stone. The weathering at the other end (left) is also going in the right direction if made when stood up. Ding Dong mine is visible on the right.

Log Text: Gorgeous stone with the most obvious cross on top, with a second cross on the south side and carvings beneath it.
