SUMMARY:Archaeo-astronomy Guided Walk – Devils and Saints in West Penwith
  led by Carolyn Kennett
DESCRIPTION:A walk from St Just Church to Carn Kenidjack and back on Februa
 ry 3rd 2024\, meet 11.00 am\, finish around 17.00 pm.\n\nLeaving the hustl
 e of St Just we head out through the enchanting Tregeseal Valley. This rem
 arkable valley is scarred by the remains of the mining industry carved int
 o a landscape\, one which was equally important to people from prehistory.
  We have permission to visit the privately owned entrance grave and discus
 s the archaeological discoveries made here\, before heading onto Kenidjack
  common beneath Carn Kenidjack reputed in folklore to be a favourite site 
 of the devil.\n\nThis area is rich in archaeological remains including the
  Tregeseal stone circle where we will chat about astronomy work of the pas
 t and the photography of Lady Lockyer. We head past the barrows and visit 
 the holed stones. These have recently undergone an archaeological investig
 ation when the stones were stabilised\, the results of this excavation wil
 l be shared. Heading up the hill we will chat about other features in the 
 landscape\, along with the myths and legends that abound in this area. We 
 will continue past the abandoned farmstead to Boslow inscribed stone\, and
  maybe further if time allows...\n\n[caption id="attachment_2280" align="a

 e to see the Imbolc cross quarter sun disappear over the sea and the Isles
  of Scilly. We head back to St Just in the fading light of the day\, ready
  for a welcome break and the warmth of a fire\, perhaps in one of St Just
 ’s several public houses.\n\nMeet outside St Just Church\, St Just in Pe
