Boscawen-Un

Boscawen-ûn is a Bronze Age stone circle on the Penwith Peninsula in far southwest Cornwall, dating to roughly 2000–3000 BCE. Nineteen stones form an oval ring some 25 metres across, with a notably tilted central standing stone of pale quartz — a feature found in very few comparable British circles. The site survives in excellent condition, with no fencing or visitor infrastructure, giving it an unusually raw quality. Neo-druidic groups have gathered here for ceremonies since the 19th century, and the circle is referenced in the early medieval Cornish poem Bewnans Ke. Access is via narrow field paths through open Cornish heath, so the approach itself is part of the experience.
