Hallo Mr H,

Is this:

one of the things Borlase talks of as 'Rock Basons'?

I'm intrigued.

Hi Hob

Possibly....not having read his stuff on Carn Brea can not be sure...there is another pile which I will add in the next few days...actually therare similar rocks all over the Carn.....and Cornwall.

Spoilt for choice!

I have seen Borlase's rock basins compared to bullauns in some reports, so I don't think these natural-looking things could be them. I think Borlase's basins are singular things, but ain't 100% sure.

Spose i should know but....

Does anyone know if and where I can get a copy of Borlase's books? don't have the finances to buy one of those advertised on the net but wondered if anyone has come across reprints or a site on the web where they might have been published (tried Sacred Texts...no luck).

Am I hoping for too much!

Mr H
