Just to clarify, in my post I mentioned Boscawen-un - as an example, not of fencing in the barbed wire sense, but of an wonderful stone circle which is protected by a circular enclosure of gorse and blackthorn (beautifully in bloom when I visited a couple of Aprils ago).
You win some, you lose some. Agreed, Boscawen-un is wonderfully protected, private and hidden, but at the same time it's almost impossible to get a sense of the circle's place in the landscape, as all you can see from the circle is bloody gorse! :-)
Compare and contrast with Tregeseal which has a beautiful view across to Carn Kenidjack, or Fernacre on Bodmin with the views up to Rough Tor and around.
