There's a Roman villa just off pic top right, a part brick was found there in the late 80s with the thumb print of the brickmaker.

Not sure that barrow if it is one would be unrecorded, it is inside the WHS and EH aerial photographers are tops (they found another long barrow recently.... Shhhh!).


They do find loads from the air, i'd love to sit there for a living looking though them and finding things , it would be great, and Roy if you're ever down this way again i'd love to show you how i believe Zennor Quoit looked when in use, I really think i've cracked it, it would be very hard to explain though as it involves two missing but not massive stones [they'd have been the smallest big ones on site, so the first to go] and the rest involves a little wood.


Aha...Zennor, yes. Best discuss on another thread really Paul but when I made a return visit there a couple of months ago I took full measurements and also came to a conclusion. Will be interesting to compare. Later.
