Prehistoric Sacred Sites of CornwallThis book covers the stone circles, megaliths and dolmens of Cornwall with detailed information and a map of Cornish prehistoric sites. It delves into the Celts in Cornwall and explors the lost land of Lionesse.

The great stone monuments of Cornwall that we see today are the abandoned ruins of an elaborate social and religious system that lasted for a thousand years or more. One of its achievements was to maintain a large, simple-living but highly cultured population in a countryside that is now mostly barren waste.

We cannot go back to that time, but the experience of its haunted relics, in their often wild and remote settings, stirs thoughts and feelings and leads to further interest in the megalithic mystery. In the investigation of this mystery we may make contact with our ancestors, and with ourselves. In the old Cornish rocks and monuments are many wonderful secrets from the past, awaiting revelation.
