Dig unearths Stone Age sculptures
Rare artefacts from the late Stone Age have been uncovered in Russia.
On the left is the side passage. If I was on my own, I wouldn’t have had the guts to go down and take this photo. One of my favourite sites, as it had the power to frighten me.
I read somewhere there’s an enclosure or something similar very close to the quoit, the remains of which I think are on the right of the picture.
Also, according to the book “Belerion” by Craig weatherhill, it could be a cist.
Kenidjack headland taken from the cape. On the horizon you see the ruined cottage near to the castle.
I know it’s a similar view, but its to show the difference in vegetation in different seasons( taken May 2005)
View to Gwithian, Godrevy island and further up the coast. What I presume to be a rampart in foreground.
You can see much of the Penwith peninsula from Trencrom, including Mount’s bay
There’s work going on to clear the trees at this site, so you’re probably better off visiting out of working hours, otherwise you won’t be allowed in there. This site is a mess at the moment. Lots of the site (and the hill) is taped off at the moment. They haven’t cleared away branches, etc, so it’s likely that it will end up in the same state (i.e. overgrown and covered in trees) again. Because of this, it’s difficult to really get an impression of the scale of the site. The site left me disappointed, and frustrated by the over zealous conifer planting policies of the 1950s.
Ditch. In the bottom right hand corner is the track put in for the tree felling.
