Spot the menhir...
view from bottom of valley looking up.
Hidden amongst the verdant growth of West Penwith, the Carfury menhir takes some finding even on a sunny day.
Looking south, possible stone row runs through field, above wall to the right. It might meet up with stone circle at southern end.
Looking from the main entrance, south west.
The ditch and inner bank looking South East
To the south of the barrow there is marked on the OS map a circle of stones?...It is not marked as a stone circle and to my untrained eye, there is no sign of a circle. However, there are many stones lying around....could they be the reamins of something?
A30 in the background.
Eastern row...looking west.
western row ...looking west.
Cuckoo Rock settlement with Burrator Reservoir in the distance.
