An article in a recent issue of Cornish earth mysteries magazine Meyn Mamvro will be of interest to megalithomaniacs. Since antiquarian times there have been suggestions that the stone on the perimeter of the church at St Eval in Cornwall was the sole remaining stone from a lost megalithic circle on which the church had been built. Despite another standing stone being found on the edge of the churchyard in the 1960s, the theory that St. Eval's church was built on a stone circle fell out of fashion and was largely forgotten. However, Howard Balmer's article reports that two more standing stones have been found on the conjectured circle's circuit, making the existence of the stone circle a much greater possibility. Additionally, the letters page of Meyn Mamvro includes accounts of a high-strangeness event at the Merry Maidens circle in Cornwall and ghostly voices heard at Scorhill stone circle, Dartmoor.

thought that might be interesting. Makes u wonder how many more are awaiting discovery.
