Looking towards Boswens menhir, silhouetted on the skyline.

There are many stones lying near to the circle – could some of these be from the mostly-destroyed second circle?

Summer Solstice at Tregeseal.

Poorly-preserved hut circle.

Hut circle interior.

Hut circle, looking north towards Roughtor.

What a great stone.

Looking north to Roughtor (centre) and Brown Willy (right of the upright).

Knotted mineral vein in the upright.

I’m definitely all for this being the remains of a quoit. The fact that there aren’t enough stones left to make one doesn’t seem that important. The one upright is massive and just the right height for balancing a capstone on. It’s also very unlike pretty much any ‘proper’ Cornish standing stones. Whatever it is, it’s a really good site to visit.

Hut circle levelled into the slope of the hill, on the western slopes above the road between Delford Bridge and Cassacawn.

Entrance into another hut circle.

Another hut circle, looking towards Roughtor and Brown Willy.

One of the many hut circles on Kerrow Downs.

Line of boulders remaining from the field system on the eastern part of the site.

Big skies over Hawk’s Tor.

The eastern arc. The summits of Roughtor (far left) and Brown Willy (centre left) peak over the intervening moorland. Hawk’s Tor rises on the right.

From the southeast, with Carbilly Tor behind.

Shattered fragment and stumps on the eastern side of the monument.

The tallest of the re-erected stones, a massive slab of granite with a natural crease.

Two of the re-erected stones, presumably both with corners broken off long ago.

From the west.

The stone postman christened Mick, now with added companions.

Hawk’s Tor behind and a brooding Roughtor and Brown Willy on the skyline to the right.

Bank and internal ditch.

Hut circle a couple of hundred yards south of the cist, near the entrance to the waterworks.

Looking south, with the rocky top of Hawk’s Tor visible on the left skyline.

Looking southwest-ish.

The cist with poles for scale.

The retaining kerb is well-defined on the west of the cairn.

Leaze cist in its retaining circle. King Arthur’s Hall is silhouetted on the skyline, slightly right of centre.

This is a superb circle, a really nice place to come.

The cairn to the northeast of the circle, with the circle beyond.

Little cairn to the northeast of the circle, with what appears to be the remains of a kerb or possibly a freestanding surrounding circle.

Looking northeast towards Garrow Tor.

From the northwest.
