| Found this for you: "Colonel Forbes Leslie and Dr. Borlase give an engraving of some circles at Botallack, interlacing one another in a most remarkable and inexplicable manner, and my next escursion was in search of these. I am not prepared to say positively that they did not exist when Dr. Borlase wrote, a century ago, or that they do not exist now,* but, although I made careful enquiries, the only thing I could find in the neighbourhood was a circle called the "Nine Maidens".. *W.C. Borlase, Esq, F.S.A., a descendant of Dr. Borlase, tells me that they stood in front of Botallack Manor House, but do not now exist." this is from p iii of A Description of Some Archaic Structures in Cornwall and Devon. A. L. Lewis The Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1. (1872), pp. i-ix. Whether you believe any of it is up to you of course, Hob? I don't think Mr Lewis believed it particularly? Reply | with quote |  5th August 2007ce 20:04 In reply to: Botallek? (Hob) |
