North Hill (Entrance Grave)

Many of the sites on the north hill are periodically closed off for the benefit of nesting Turns, so check with local sources before visiting if you want to see them.

Either way, be sure to head for the rocky outcrop on the south-eastern extreme of the island. A little poke around is amply rewarded: the image shows the best of four entrance graves on this narrow ridge, each with beautiful vistas behind.

Carbis Bay Longstone (Standing Stone / Menhir)

Recently spent a week on Trencrom Lane [The stone is on the corner of Trencrom Lane and the A3074 at 102:530383]. A short walk along Trencrom lane, St. Michael's Way crosses the lane and there's a larger standing stone [easily 10 ft.] in the field beside the path at 525372. Also noted a distinctive stone in the beer garden of nearby Scottie's Bar at 5313865.

Saw the Carbis Bay Longstone everyday, its somewhat removed situation betraying its status, although I never thought I'd find an entry for it here. Something of a wallflower at the party.
