Merry Maidens (Circle)
Date Added: 26th Nov 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
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.

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!

Log Text: Not sure who designated this access as "5." It cannot be driven to nor is it a short stroll, but it is well worth the long walk. And its condition is not a "1," as someone designated, but at least a "3." Nearby are the remains of the 12th Century St. Piran's Lost Church and the buried 6th Century St. Piran's Oratory, thought to be one of the most ancient Christian foundations on mainland Britain, now designated by a marker.

The Hurlers Pipers submitted by JimChampion on 24th Aug 2007. View through the 'goalposts' of the Pipers, neatly framing Stowe's Hill in the distance (home of the Cheesewring natural rock feature and the neolithic enclosure of Stowe's Pound). 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.

Merrivale submitted by thecaptain on 29th Oct 2004. Merrivale site overview.
This is the view looking west overlooking the Merrivale site. I have tried to mark out where the various features are.
The stones in the foreground are remains of bronze age reaves and ancient settlement huts and field walls.
