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: Catshole Quoit is loctated on the summit of Catshole Tor surrounded by multiple small tors. I wasn't entirely convinced that man was responsible for the arrangement of stones but I retain an open mind on the theory.

Log Text: I found Choone Holed Stone by walking c. 250 yards NE along the B3315 from the Merry Maidens Car Park. It is located in the first gateway on the left. In summer it may be obscured by vegetation

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.
Colquite Menhir

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Apr 2018
Colquite Menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 7th Dec 2010. The stone is nearly 6 feet tall in a little enclosure type area where the walls go around it, which would seem unusual for many reasons.

Log Text: I passed by Colquite Standing Stone on the way to East Moor Cairns and Nine Stones of Altarnun. It certainly appears to be an ancient stone repurposed as a gate stone at one point. The fact that the stone wall detours around it emphasises its significance.

Log Text: I decided to visit Craddock Moor stone row from Minions due to perfect weather conditions. I used GPS Navigation to locate the NE end of the stone row at SX24087224. The stone row is easily followed by walking SW.

Log Text: In common with many Cornish Sites, it is difficult to park close to Crousa Common Stones. The closest safe parking stot is a picnic spot at St Keverne Beacon, 100 yards off the B3293. My walking route to the stones is viewable on Crousa Common Stones/a>.

Log Text: I was curious to investigate the Devil's Jump marked on the OS Map close to Carweather Medieval Village. The natural rock feature consists of two granite crags in a wooded valley. I couldn't find out much information on the net. The biggest surprise was a slab of rock resembling a bearded devil on the S crag.

Log Text: It would be easy to drive past this capstone located beside Little Quoit farm c. 0.80 miles E of St Columb Major on the road to Roche. There is no sign for the stone on the roadside and parking is difficult.

Log Text: I found this standing stone by trial & error: approaching from the W I saw the stone further up the slope. I followed a meandering path from Carfury E Standing Stone keeping the standing stone in sight through gorse and briars.

View looking south westwards at this cairn circle which I found while walking back to my car from Fernacre. A fine set of teeth it has.

Log Text: If you are visiting Stannon Stone Circle why not walk c. 400 yards ESE to locate Stannon Kerbed Cairn, a small cairn with 4 prominent kerb stones and a possible undisturbed cist in the centre?

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.
