We've just checked our latest Burl and he lists only 19 circles for 
Bodmin, that counts The Hurlers individually, and includes the 
Stripples, which is actually a henge. It would be very big news indeed 
if this gent has discovered "very many stone circles" on Bodmin. To 
us, "very many" sounds as though it should at least double the 
present count.

There are many small cairns and hut circles all over Bodmin, it's 
difficult to walk in straight line for very long without spotting 
something along those lines. Maybe this chap's interpretation of what 
actually constitutes a stone circle is a little broader than is generally 
held.

Does he give accurate map references for these startling new 
discoveries?
