Visited #Zennor Quoit today. Spectacular location, but a bit of a walk. It is a #Neolithic burial chamber & was built 2500-1000 BCE. Archaeological evidence unearthed on the site indicates that it was used for the burial of bodies which were later cremated and removed and replaced with others.

The prehistoric chambered tomb Zennor Quoit in West Penwith, Cornwall, rises through the mist from a carpet of ferns. Photo taken from the east on the 4th of July 1993. #Zennor #ZennorQuoit #Cornwall #Dolmens #StandingStoneSunday

Zennor, Cornwall

Any visit to West Cornwall would not be complete without saying hello to the C15th Mermaid of Zennor. Although she sits in isolation in a sea of mediocre Victorian restoration, she is beautiful, inspiring, and mysterious. She holds a mirror and a comb, seen as symbols of vanity.

#FotoVorschlag: Stehen gelassen // Left behind

Irgendwo in Cornwall, auf dem Gurnard's Head bei Zennor, wurde nur diese Wand vom Gebäude stehen gelassen. Ich glaube, sie gehörte zu einem Kupferbergwerk. // This wall is all that's left of the building. I think it was part of the #GurnardsHead copper mine. It's located near #Zennor in #Cornwall
