Carn Euny Fogou
Date Added: 23rd Oct 2011
Site Type: Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 14th May 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. This shot shows the huge but low (4.5ft - 1.4m) SE-facing doorway of the Carn Euny 'Beehive Hut' underground chamber, with its own short passage leading into the fogou passage which runs SW/NE, (but snaking here with a flatter, more W/E run), just outside the doorway. It is thought that the Beehive Hut (chamber) was the first structure on this site, so that originally the eastern wall of the fogou passage would not have obstructed the view. It is possible that the sun was meant to shine down t...

Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Mulfra Quoit
Date Added: 7th Nov 2011
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Mulfra Quoit submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. Taken looking west at sunset. We only just made it to the quoit before the sun set, but were rewarded with spectacular ambience. Running up the bracken-covered hillside from the Try Vally, the quoit was hidden from view until we got very close to it. A lot of anticipation, capped by a pleasant surprise. Its not obvious where to park for access from the Try Valley, there is a shallow lay-by at SW454356.

A large triangular stone whose influence on the cauliflower crop seems to have been malign!

Boskednan A submitted by AngieLake on 15th Oct 2004. This view of the 'destroyed barrow'/cairn near Carn Galva, shows its alignment with Ding Dong mine on the horizon. Boskednan circle is on slightly lower ground not far from here, and on an alignment between the 'barrow'/cairn and the
mine building. The flat sides of the pointed stones face north/south. (This pic was taken at 4pm in March 2004).
The stones sit on a higher ridge at 227m.

St Piran's Cross submitted by Thorgrim on 10th Dec 2003. Difficult to find amid the dunes of Penhale Sands, this 8 foot cross stands close to the sand-buried church of St Piran's Oratory. This is the earliest recorded stone cross in Cornwall and is dedicated to its patron saint and that of tinners and miners.
Near Perranporth at SW7720 5646

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.

Chun Castle submitted by JimChampion on 13th May 2005. August 2004. Looking east from the hill fort, with the ruined stone walls (a more recent addition to the defences) in the foreground. Between here and the hill in the distance are several popular megalithic sites such as Lanyon Quoit, the Men-an-Tol and the Nine Maidens stone circle.

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.
