Boscawen-Un

Boscawen-Ûn is a Bronze Age stone circle close to St Buryan in Cornwall, UK [1]. It consists of nineteen upright stones in an ellipse with another, leaning, middle stone just south of the centre [1]. There is a west-facing gap in the circle, which may have formed an entrance [1]. The elliptical circle has diameters 24.9 and 21.9 metres [1]. The stone circle consists of a central standing stone encircled by 19 other stones, including 18 made of grey granite and one of bright quartz [1]. The large central stone has a feet or axe petroglyph [1]. William Borlase mapped the circle in 1754 showing eighteen stones standing and one fallen, and at some time in the next hundred years a Cornish hedge was constructed through the circle [1].
