Access: Easy 5 minute walk to the alignments from the end of the road across brushy/moorland-type grass. Not much space for parking.

A beautiful setting. Difficult to know what's prehistoric & what's natural, as there are lots of stones lying about. Some bits are obvious - & I suspect these are the only bone fide bits!

There's also a strange little setting of rocks by a small ruined building on a smaller promontory down the hill towards the beach. I suspect these are associated with the building, but difficult to be sure.

On a spectacular high rocky, heathy promentary facing west once stood some more alignments at Lostmarch. Now there are very few left, but enough to interest the more anorakky megalith-hunter, including a couple of very large menhirs. The beach to the south was obviously a favourite with surfers, catching the great Atlantic rollers. The whole place reminded me a lot of Rhossili on the Gower. Jane Posted by Jane
