Tregeseal is another very atmospheric stone circle location.  I visited this on a dark and blustery day. This is situated near the village of St Just, north of Penzance.  The field it was in felt uneven. So I made sure to be careful of my footing. This only added to the natural wildness of the place. Like with other stone circles, you just wonder why they have built this here, in this location. Probably for ceremonies or rituals.

This is estimated to have been built in Prehistoric times.  There are currently 19 stone standing. It is found in a field close to a farmhouse. You can gain entry via a gate.

It is called by some ‘The Dancing Stones’.  

I’ve got a story to tell about the time I visited Boskednan.  I decided to go on my own… and not tell anyone.  And ended up tearing a ligament in my knee.  That will definitely be in a Blog post sometime.  But a word of advice… be careful jumping over puddles. The video below gives you a glimpse into the drama that day.  I’ll never look at a puddle the same way again.

I actually went the long route round to the circle, via Men-an-Tol. But there is parking nearer that you can use for a shorter walk to Boskednan.

This stone circle is found on an open moor. And is a broken circle as well. There is a sense of isolation just because it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere and a bit bleak. It was very windswept the day I went. But still worth the journey. You never quite know what you’re going to see when you set off to view a stone circle. Not just the stones themselves but the area around it. As I definitely found on that day, you have to properly navigate going to some of them as they’re not always next to a road/path.

Some people call it the ‘Nine Maidens’. There are 10 stones to be found.  Estimates are that this was built in the Neolithic or Bronze Age.

Men-an-Tol isn’t technically a circle.  But is a fascinating. Its name means ‘Stone with a hole.’  This is estimated to have been built during the Neolithic or Bronze Ages. 

It is said to been guarded by a Pixie. And people who crawl through the hole have been said to have been cured of diseases.

This isn’t that big a stone monument to see but is an extremely striking one. As you’re constantly asking about these stone monuments, what exactly was the purpose of it? What was the significance of having a stone with a hole cut out of the middle. I love the mystery surrounding these monuments. 

This one is situated next to a path, so is not that difficult to get to. You can park in a lay-by and then spend about 10 minutes walking up the path, to then find the monument in an area next door.
