The little known menhir at Lezerea Farm near Burras in the parish of Wendron, between Redruth and Helston in Cornwall. Photographed from the south-west on 9 May 1993. The stone, almost 10 ft or 3 m high, was set in a concrete base about 50 years ago.

Looking out across the moors of the parish of Wendron from Burras Menhir near Porkellis. The bullet-shaped stone stands left of centre, secured by a diamond shaped base of paler granite. The stones glisten in the rain. The field is green with a low hedge in the middle distance. The moors beyond the hedge are misty and gently curved. The sky is grey with a thick mist.

A colour photo of the menhir at Prospidnick in the parish of Sithney, Cornwall. The standing stone is on the edge of a low hedge beside a minor road and leans slightly towards the field. The green hill can be seen curving gently over the horizon towards Wendron.

The SE Nine Maidens Stone Circle, also known as Wendron South, near Troon in Cornwall. This photo, taken from the east on the 9th May 1993, shows the remaining four stones of the north-west arc of the south-east stone circle of an original pair. Another stone survives in situ in the hedge and another has been moved to the hedge. Only two stones of the north-west circle survive, both are in the hedge.

Colour photograph of the remaining stones of the south-east Nine Maidens Stone Circle. Four small stones lie along an arc in a green field on a slightly misty day. Behind is a hill with a few scattered farms and cottages and with a transmitting tower on the peak.
