THERE are two circles situated on Truthwall ^ Common near to Tregeseal and not far from St. Just; the one is nearly to the east of the other, and ginal structure seems to have contained twenty-eightstones according to Lukis. iMv wife and I visited the region in January, 1906,but previously to our going Mr. Horton Bolitho, ac-companied by Mr. Thomas, whose knowledge of thelocal antiquities is very great, had explored the regionand taught us what to observe.
