SUMMARY:Hawk’s Tor\, Stripple Stones and Trippet Stones circles and Manor
  Common\, Blisland led by Carolyn Kennet and Pete Herring
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the lane-side rough parking east of the Treswigger cros
 sroads at SX 12947475\, or What3Words: picked.responded.sleepless\n\nA moo
 rland walk in high summer\, and the third this year in which archaeo-astro
 nomer Carolyn Kennett puts some of Cornwall’s most famous circles in the
 ir astronomical context. A link to the Tregeseal and Stannon walks is the 
 involvement of Sir Norman and Lady Lockyer at the excavations of the Strip
 ple Stones in 1905.\n\nPete Herring sets out these circles’ pivotal role
  in the development of experiential landscape archaeology as pioneered on 
 Bodmin Moor by the late Chris Tilley (‘Rocks as Resources’\, Cornish A
 rchaeology\, 34\, 1995). As we explore tor-topped\nHawk’s Tor and the ro
 lling downs of Blisland’s Manor Common\, Pete leads discussion of Bronze
  Age cairns\, the commons of Blisland manor\, intakes from them\, tin stre
 amworking\, granite stone-splitting and subtle second-world war remains of
  national defence and then D-Day military preparations. We also hope to re
 ach a possible third stone circle on the western slopes of the hill known 
 as Nailaborough.\n\nAround 4 miles of rough moorland walking. Wear suitabl
 e clothes and footwear and bring packed lunch.\n\n[caption id="attachment_
