I thought there would be more to see.

In answer to Holy McGrail, if in Ireland or Scotland you found English Heritage signs over all your ancient sites you would probably do something similar. The Cornish are not English but a Brythonic race related to the Welsh and Bretons. There has been a response to this and there is now a Cornish Heritage trust.
When I was looking at the tregiffian burial chamber I glanced over the road and saw this grand stone.
This is a Logan Stone and is shaped like a stone axe.It will move but with great difficulty.You have to fight your way through lots of furze to get there but is worth the visit.
The road is a bit narrow for parking but you can squeeze in by the field gate.The local farm is appropriately named Tremenhere.
Sorry about the picture quality but the weather was a bit Cornish.

I was there in May 2002. The weather was as you [Gazza] described, but the site is stunning.
I almost forgot,there are cupmarks on the stone.
After looking at the fine and user friendly museum at Meigle-follow the signs to Belmont Castle,pass the entrance and at the next left park.Go in the gate and at 50 metres follow the path on the right,you cannot miss the stone it is about 5 metres tall.
See picture for details.
When posting this I made a mistake with the map ref.It should read NN780213
Take the B827 south from Comrie take left turn to Muirend and at fork in road look to the right,the circle is in the trees.

This is on the right hand side of the road on the way to Men Gurta,just past St.Breock Downs Farm.
The local folk here call this the Crone Well,there must have been a resident Fey Wife here in the past.
