Books featuring the moor

In connection to my earlier posting about Sir N Lockyer, if anyone out there knows of any books that feature sites on Bodmin Moor could you pleaselet me know. Obviously I am familiar with Jamaica Inn and Tennysons Arthur books, it's the more obscure ones that might have escaped me that i feel some of you TMAers might know of.

Replying to Mr Hamhead

You could check out Christian o'Brien's book, <i>The Megalithic Odyssey</i> (Turnstone 1983) which explores the megalithic astronomy of many sites around Bodmin. He does float off a bit though, linking the pyramids and South American sites with the builders of the Bodmin sites. But that aside, it's a decent catalogue of sites and their alignments.
