Close to St Buryan near Penzance you will find this superb example of a Prehistoric ceremonial stone circle is possibly one of the three remaining Gorsedds(Druids meeting place) left in the UK. Though tradition has it that the stones were maidens who were found dancing there on the Sabbath and were turned to stone for dancing on the holy day. To this day you can find flowers which have been left there for the maidens in their memory.

The names spin by outside the car, Buryas Bridge, Drift, Catchall and then I see the tiny turning that I need and swing the car in, onto the dirt road. This is the track to Boscawen-un, one of the first ancient places on the Penwith that I ever came to. That was probably 20 years ago and it was very different then. All overgrown with bracken and with the silent peace of a place rarely visited. Whenever I came here I was alone with the skylarks. Since then this Bronze age monument has had some maintenance and the site has been cleared revealing this special place a little more. And it is special for several reasons, for a start this stone circle is not a circle – its an oval! The placement of the 19 upright stones apparently follows the course that the moon takes across the night sky. Boscawen Un is not the only circle in the Penwith to have 19 stones however. The Merry Maidens circle, Tregeseal and Boskednan all do too.

Boscawen-Ûn is a Bronze Age stone circle close to St Buryan in Cornwall, UK. It consists of nineteen upright stones in an ellipse with another, leaning, middle stone just south of the centre. There is a west-facing gap in the circle, which may have formed an entrance ... Accessed by a lovely walk from a lay-by on the A30 road
