As Ocifant so kindly put me forward...

Not sure about the circle NE of the Pipers...not something I have come across. As Sanctuary says the Craddock Circle is NW..but you would be a long way of course to find it.

I think I know the two stones at Chysaucester you are talking about...are they the door jambs to House 7?

As for the stone row...like all the other stone rows on Bodmin Moor we have no idea what they were erected for...sorry!

All the best, glad you enjoyed your trip to Cornwall again.

We've got a photo of these stones:-

They are directly opposite the doorway to the courtyard, you can see this in our VR tour of Chysauster:-

Click on the blue dot in house 7 to view, (apologies for the low res of the panorama).

We think Mr.Hamhead is correct, the "family room" would have been located here it looks as though the smaller stones of the walling have been robbed away, leaving one door jamb and two other large stones standing isolated.

We also thought they had a very "stone circley" look to them.
