Looking inland across the rampart towards Carn Galva.

The stone rampart.

Ancient field boundaries run up to the stone rampart.

Approaching from the northeast.

From Porthmeor Cliff to the southwest.

Looking along the coast towards Pendeen Head.

Not all quartz is white...

Perfect autumn afternoon, Tregeseal.

Reverse view of the three pointy stones, this time from the up-slope end.

Between Carn Kenidjack and the holed stones we came across this line of three conspicuously pointy stones. They may be connected with the scant remains of a settlement and field system near here, or they may not.

The double entrance to the fort.

Already two years since our last visit.

A reflection.

The triangular stone in the bonkers “kerb”. The more places I visit, the more unusual the form of this monument seems.

Towards Watch Croft.

Looking towards Zennor Hill.

Approaching across wet moors from the south.

The northern arc of the cairn’s kerb. The skyline backdrop stretches from Carn Kenidjack (left) to Watch Croft (right).

Looking east across the cairn to Zennor Hill.

Amidst dying bracken and clear autumn skies.

The stone and the lane to Ding Dong.

Gurnard’s Head from Treveal Cliff to the east.

The field system to the north of the settlement extends all the way to the sea, its final boundaries run along the clifftop at Wicca Cliff.

Autumn Equinox 2017.

Eve.

Eve and Adam, Autumn Equinox evening.

NW quadrant of the outer circle.

The Swindon stone.

Looking west across West Overton 9 barrow. Avebury is in the middle distance to the left of shot.

West Overton 9, to the north of the Herepath and next to the Ridgeway, which runs along the fence line in the shot.

Autumn equinox visit to the earthwork.

Looking towards West Woods, where I started this walk several hours earlier.

Holey kerbstone!

The southern cairn, autumn Equinox. Over the course of two visits this year, this site has become one of my favourite places in the Avebury landscape.

Came across this splendid sarsen on the walk from Down Barn to the southern Overton Down cairn, which can be seen in the background on the right.
