Just wondered if anybody had any info on how the restoration work on the circle of boskednan was going?, a special place for me, even tho ive moved on from the area, any photos would be nice.

I'll try to get up there when I'm in Kernow at the end of August if no-one can do anything earlier.

I went in June, and it looked like the area had undergone some SERIOUS "improvement" works!

The gorse had been burnt right back across the entire top of the hill, unfortunately scorching some of the stones...

More gorse is being trained across the worn out paths.

The cairns are far more visible, which is nice. The whole area was "under construction" when I was there, so it looked a bit tatty, but I'm sure that once the gorse on the paths has established, and the severity of the burning has calmed down, it will look absolutely wonderful (again)!

Shame about the scorch marks on many of the stones :(
