I approached the Essa Stones by car from the W. This cuts out the 0.8 mile walk up from Polruan Quay. There is a gateway N of the Lantic Way c. 90 yards W of a minor junction with a lane to Lanteglos Church. Essa Standing Stone 1 is c. 100 yards W of the gateway on the margin of the field at SX 13727 50987. The erect stone slab is orientated E-W and bears signs of weathering. The base round the stone has been eroded to a dusty circle. Essa Standing Stone 2 is located at SX 13762 51085, c. 110 yards NNE down the grassy slope. This slab is irregular and pointed, much less convincing as an ancient monument to my eyes. The standing stones are not visible from the Lantic Way due to the high hedge.
