Site Type: Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
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.

Log Text: Boskednan A Kerbed Cairn is easily visited on the way to Nine Maidens of Boskednan. There are intermittent kerb stones round the cairn up to 4 feet tall. As a starter before the Nine Stones of Boskednan it is very satisfying.

Log Text: Bowerman's Nose is one of those splendid oddities which don't have an explanation. They are happy accidents. They don't need to be explained they just exist.

Log Text: I can never resist a standing stone on the horizon as I am driving. I will either investigate there and then or make a mental note to search for the stone later. In this case I was able to park up c. 500 yards NW of the stone at SW 3961 3310, adjacent to a track which led to Boswens Menhir. It is not a spectacular standing stone, however a 15 minute walk while driving is good exercise.

Boslow Cross submitted by JimChampion on 24th Oct 2007. August 2007. The southern side of the Boslow Cross, alongside a grassy path.

Log Text: Boslow Cross has the appearance of a dressed stone rather than a standing stone. I would err on the side of it being a parish boundary stone rather than a prehistoric stone.
Boscawen-Ros East

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.

Log Text: The remains of the broch on Dun Bornaskitaig are mostly hidden under a grassy bank up to c. 4 feet high round the perimeter of the dun. There are several building constructed from the broch's stones in the vicinity of the dun.

Log Text: There is a slight curve to the 3 stones in this row lending some weight to the argument that they were once part of a stone circle. The construction of a road through a stone circle could have occurred in the past.

Log Text: I was fortunate to visit Borgarvirki Fort on the cusp of Winter, a fresh layer of snow adding atmosphere to an impressive site. Although my visit predated Game of Thrones it seems to me that Borgarvirki could easily have been transported from the icy wastes beyond The Wall.
Knocknocher stone pair

Knocknocher stone pair submitted by PaulM on 30th Oct 2002. Knocknocher stone pair
teutfuryeeww Three legged support
This stone pair (one of which has sadly fallen) may also go by the name of Boreland or Clugston Burn. They are now safely penned in behind wire - the fence posts can be seen from the lane that runs to the south. At this point there is a gate for the brave which opens easily. NGR: NX35235808
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: Knocknocher stone pair's proximity to White Cairn, Boreland may be significant. They are not in themselves impressive but they may have been waymarkers to the cairn. The stones are fenced off to protect them from cattle. Beef cattle are usually present in the field so caution should be exercised.
Spittal Croft cairn

Spittal Croft cairn submitted by PaulM on 30th Oct 2002. Spittal Croft cairn
This stoney cairn can be seen at NX35665800 just NE of a property called Spittal Croft (the cairn maybe called something different locally). It is located at a road junction. It is one of a cluster of monuments in the area including another cairn (White Cairn) a fort and a stone pair.

Log Text: It is easy to park at a road junction just beyond Spittal Croft Cairn. The low circle in the flat pasture is not spectacular but it was obviously more impressive before its near destruction. Sometimes it is better to to have a footprint of a cairn than an over-reconstructed monument.

Boreland submitted by kelpie on 1st Oct 2003. NX 40580 68989
This relatively untouched horned long cairn lies in the woods north of Newton Stewart. This photo shows the two portal stones with the cairn heaped behind them.

Log Text: Boreland Cairn features on a path round Knockman Wood located to the N of Minigaff. Despite its relative isolation the cairn was being robbed until 1882 when it was protected. The cairn is best visited in Spring or Autumn to avoid the ferns.
