Dist:0.5km<br/>There are several "holed stones" in this part of Kenidjack Common, and this one sits to the north-west of the main alignment of four. At some point is has been broken in half, but now the two halves are cemented back together. Apparently there is another holed stone but its hole is suspiciously modern (straight through, without the bevelled edge). Over the crest of the hill you can see the tip of the mast at Carn Bean (left) and the granite outcrop at Carn Kenidjack (right). These stones were discovered and re-erected in the nineteeth century, probably around the same time that the nearby Tregeseal Dancing Stones/Nine Maidens stone circle was restored.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A granite standing stone inscribed with a simple cross on its southern side - marked as an 'inscribed stone' on the 1:25000 OS map, and described as the "Boslow Cross" on its monument scheduling. The stone could possibly be a parish boundary marker, standing at a corner of the boundary between Sancreed and St Just parishes.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This stile survives on Botallack Common with no fence anywhere near it. The 1:25000 OS map shows various boundaries on the commons to the south of Carn Kenidjack (the granite outcrop on the horizon). The area seems to be well managed - note the lack of bracken.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Described on the 1:25000 map as Air Traffic Control Beacon, this is a Doppler VHF Omni-directional Range (DVOR) navigation aid operated by National Air Traffic Services (NATS). It has an otherworldly appearance and one might be excused for thinking that a UFO has landed.
