Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

Trevorgans Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 16th Nov 2004. This cross is not sympathetically placed having regard to the nearness of the A30 but, of course, the road would have been considerably narrower a 100 years ago.

Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 8th Dec 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
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.

Boskenna Cross
Date Added: 14th Dec 2011
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 5
Boskenna Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 15th Nov 2004. The shot shows the principal face of the cross with its depiction of Christ.
The three-part base is out of all proportion to the cross. The look of stability is deceptive given its three damaging brushed with modern traffic!

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007.

These two stones stand to the west of the Hurlers stone circles. The dung in the foreground is from the ponies that graze the moor.
