| Can't claim it myself.... although I kicking myself after I read a couple of dimissive reports, one reference which dismissed them as natural formations and another that said it had gone without trace. I think there a lesson to learn here somewhere (never trust the experts!) The directions given by Borlase were slightly out, so this may acount for some confusion . I understand that the Men Gurta was re-erected in 1956 after lying broken since 1945 was it moved in the process? No the honour of the re-discovery goes to a local stone buff called Howard Balmer. he has an excellent article in the summer issue of "Meyn Mamvro" a Cornish pamplet on Stones and Earth Mysteries. Howard also includes an excellent write up on the St. Eval and St. Breock areas. You can order it online at http://www.cornwt.demon.co.uk/contact.htm Phil p.s. I,ve never met Howard but he is giving a guided tour of the area in July. http://www.cornwt.demon.co.uk/earth.htm Sunday July 6th Standing Stones of the St.Eval area Howard Balmer leads a guided walk around some of the standing stones he has discovered in the St.Eval area, featured in the talk he gave to the CEMG in January. A unique opportunity to be able to visit these new sites. Meet at St.Eval Church near St.Mawgan (north of St.Columb Major) at 11am.
