Notes. Within an edition Denis would often change the amount of patination on each work finished. Of the two illustrated above, one has a totally polished surfaced whilst the other is partially patinated.
Note on title. Boscawen-Un is a Bronze Age stone circle close to St Buryan in Cornwall. It consists of nineteen upright stones in an ellipse with another, leaning, middle stone just south of the centre. There is a west-facing gap in the circle, which may have formed an entrance.
