Hi SH

I don't consider myself the expert on books on the subject but the "Romance of the Stones" by Payne/Lewsey gives good descriptions of all the stones, circles, quoits, etc...There are also good drawings so you know what to look for when you get there.

It dosen't go into the spiritual or mystical stuff so i can't help you there...

I am sure someone else can point you in that direction if needed.

I also think its safe to say that there can't be that many sites in Cornwall that have not made it onto the TMA. Pick an area and make a list!

Happy to give advice if needed about where to go and what to see.

I only have a rough itinery so far. . I haven't been to Cornwall for ten years or so, and I want to re-visit Boscawen Un, Men an Tol, Merry Maidens, Chun Quoit, you know, the 'Hollywood' sites.
As for New sites, I've got to go to Duloe, and I wonder if it's easy to get to see Boleigh Fogou these days? Perhaps Boskednan circle. . I'll have three days of exploring time, (arrive Friday dinner, leave Monday morning), so I'm hoping to get to some obscure sites too.
Circles are my main thing, Dolmens next. I'll get back to you . . thanks for the offer of advice;-)
