Log Text: It is often difficult to park up in the vicinity of monuments close to busy roads. Luckily , in this instance there are 2 lay-by's at the junction of a minor road signed for Balloch with the A822 heading S out of Crieff at NN 8580 2012. Walk across the A822 to a gate into a field. Dargill Standing Stone is located c. 110 yards SE of the gate.

(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: I approached the Ingle Stone from the north because there is no room to park on the minor road running south from Twynholm past Ingleston farm. I parked up at a farm track road end at NX 65830 54067. I followed the track south (past Arden Fort). I headed SSE towards NX 65971 53318 using my GPS to zoom into my target.

Log Text: One of my pet hates is a footpath off a narrow lane with no parking available. A footpath starts at Castallack Farm on a narrow Cornish lane. I parked carefully opposite the footpath in front of 2 houses. Follow the footpath NW for c. 350 yards to Castallack Round: depending on the season the SE entrance may be blocked by vegetation.

Log Text: Boscawen-Ros East is easily visited from the lay-by at Boskenna Cross. I followed the right of way path and found the large menhir in the middle of some cabbages. I skirted round the field to find the other menhir incorporated into the hedge at SW42782393. I was convinced that the hedge was built round this standing stone. The second stone is around 100 yards W of the visible stone. There is an interesting capstone shaped stone at SW42872395 on the eastern edge of the field, around 150 yards E of the visible menhir.
