Chun Castle submitted by pebbletripper on 26th Sep 2018. Sept 25th 2018 Equilux alignment. As sun finally set it appeared to form a halo or collar behind pointer stone as captured by my wife on her iPhone

Log Text: If you are visiting Chun Quoit (if not why not) it is a no brainer to take the path heading E for c. 330 yards to Chun Castle. The circular wall of the fort is impressive but the interior is somewhat disappointing.

Log Text: Chun Quoit is my favourite dolmen in Cornwall due to its almost perfect location on elevated moorland with panoramic views. My walking route started in the car park off the B3318 at SW 3934 3336. The path heads E then N for c. 1 mile to Chun Quoit. My route is viewable on Chun Quoit & Castle.

Boskenna Cross
Date Added: 30th May 2021

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: It is easy to park in a lay-by off the A30 at SW 4372 2837, c. 100 yards SW of the 30 mph limit on the SW of Drift. The Drift Stones are a well matched pair of tall standing stones easily accessed by a gateway if the field is not in crop.

Log Text: More than 10 years have elapsed since my visit to Castallack Carn Standing Stone. It is located at SW 44740 25374, between Castallack Round and an abandoned quarry. GPS navigation and persistence are required to find this stone hidden in shrubbery.

Log Text: The Blind Fiddler Standing Stone is a rare exception in Cornish sites: a massive standing stone accessible via a short path with dedicated parking. Perhaps only Men Gurta is taller and more impressive than the Blind Fiddler.

The Table Stone of Castallack submitted by Bladup on 9th Feb 2023. The Table Stone of Castallack, was it it's own standing stone, part of the standing stone in the next field to the west or part of a possible cairn in the next field to the south or even something else?

Log Text: I found this recumbent stone when visiting the nearby standing stone but was unsure of its antiquity. It looks like a naked capstone but there are no other stones in the vicinity and the ground is flat. I think the stone is too heavy to be moved so it is probably in its original position.

Log Text: The Hurlers S Stone Circle requires a lot of imagination to reconstruct the original circle in your mind. It is in the shadow of it's more impressive neighbours. One for the antiquarians.

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.

Warrior's Rest submitted by Anne T on 29th Jun 2015. A close up of the Warrior's Rest east face, but no cup marks that I can see. I wonder if the report of these cups got muddled with the Glebe Stone, just down the road, as I could see two cups on its eastern face.

Log Text: Warrior's Rest Standing Stone is a yard away from the gable end of Warrior's Rest Cottage. The cottage was unoccupied when I visited so there was no-one to ask permission.

Log Text: Take the turn onto Dan-Y-Coed, a residential dead-end street on the S edge of Pontsticill. There is room to park at the end of the cul-de-sac. Follow a grass track N for c. 200 yards to reach a sheepfold. Walk NW for c. 300 yards to a small stone covered cairn, Bryn Glas III. Walk c. 30 yards N to Bryn Glas IV, then c. 85 yards N to Pontsticill Ring Cairn and its small satellite cairn Bryn Glas V. My route is viewable on Pontsticill Cairns.
The Bryn Glas cairns are difficult to locate in open moorland due to their low stature. GPS navigation would be advantageous.
