Abstract:		 The Trippet Stones are the remains of an impressive stone circle, standing on the flat, lonely and windswept moorland of Manor Common in Blisland, Cornwall. Erosion around the base of the stones has been a problem for some time mainly as a result of ground disturbance by animals rubbing themselves against the stones. A programme of repair began with the repair of two of the stones in 1999. In April 2003, two further stone holes were repaired by infilling with stones and rab and turfing over. This document reports on the repair of a further three stones in 2006, including the re-erection of a recumbent stone, thought to have fallen at least twenty five years ago. Prior to filling, the eroded holes were examined for archaeological features. Cleaning of the eroded area of the stone that was re-erected (once the stone had been removed) revealed the original socket pit for the upright stone. In the base of this were several in situ packing stones. Only modern artefacts (a coin and bottle glass) were recovered from the eroded hollows.
