Log Text: I parked up on the edge of Twelve Men's moor at SX 25841 75851, walked E to reach the valley between Kilmar Tor & Bearah Tor. I followed the valley W to reach the Bearah Tor Tramway, then headed S towards the obvious cairns on the summit of Langstone Downs. There are three contiguous stone cairns on a SE-NW Axis.

Log Text: The tumulus may not be well preserved but it is only 300 yards NW of Minions Car Park, so why not take a small detour before visiting the Hurlers.
Minions Mound
Date Added: 21st Jun 2023
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jun 2023. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 4
Minions Mound submitted by windowman on 21st Jan 2012. Minions Mound, a bronze age cairn that is situated by the car park for the Hurlers stone circle site. Easy to miss, many if not all the visitors to the car park are probably unaware just what this small mound is. The mound was damaged when the walls for the adjacent cottages were built, and half the mound was cut away, forming a 'D' shape. The cairn gave it's name to the village of Minions, which was previously called Cheewring Railway, a major junction point for the original Liskeard and Carad...

Log Text: The stone wall constructed round the mound may be protecting it for future antiquarians, however it also disguises the antiquity of the site.

Log Text: Craddock Moor Stone Circle is not Stonehenge. This shy and retiring stone circle can only be seen at close quarters due to all of its stones being recumbent. It is nonetheless a significant monument in an area rich in ancient archaeology.

Log Text: Carburrow propped stone is a jumble of large stones c. 60 yards NW of the E Cairn on the summit of Carburrow Tor. An elongated cuboid stone points NW, propped up by a small boulder. It is a matter of speculation whether this is natural or modified by man.

Trewortha Kerb cairn and cist submitted by Bladup on 15th Apr 2013. Trewortha Kerb cairn and cist
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Trewortha Kerb cairn is easier to find than most of the nearby cairn because it has a raised kerb of orthostats surrounding an open central cist. This is my favourite cairn on Twelve Men's Moor.

Log Text: I summited Hawk's Tor without any expectations. I was surprised to find these mysterious stones wedged into a crevice between rocks. Subsequently I discovered that this arrangement was considered to be a stone row.

Log Text: Rillaton Barrow is prominent in Minions Moor c. 600 yards NNE of The Hurlers N Stone Circle. Rillaton N Cairn is located c. 40 yards NNW of the Barrow. This much reduced site is rarely visited due to the proximity of the impressive Rillaton Barrow.
