As this is the site of an ancient monument there is no physical cache here. Instead you need to e-mail me a photo of your GPS with the Merry Maidens, or upload a photo with your log, in order to log your find.
The Merry Maidens stone circle lies adjacent to the B3315 Newlyn to Treen road. Parking and access is in a lay-by at N50 03.894 W005 35.411.
The Merry Maidens is said to date from the Bronze age and is one of the few 'true' stone circles in Cornwall, being perfectly circular; it comprises nineteen stones today but is thought to originally have consisted of just eighteen. The stones are approximately 3-4 ft high and the circle is about 70 ft in diameter. |
