==Location==
Boscawen-Un is in southwest Cornwall in the Penwith district north of St Buryan by the road from Penzance to Land's End. Both the Merry Maidens stone circle and the two Pipers standing stones can be seen as can the sea.〔(Cornwall's Archaeological Heritage: Boscawen-ûn stone circle )〕
Boscawen-Un is a Cornish name, from the words ''bos'' (farmstead) and ''scawen'' (elder or elderberry tree). The suffix ''Un'' denotes an adjacent pasture. Therefore, the name translates as ''the pasture of the farmstead at the elderberry tree''.〔Peter Herring, (2000), ''Boscawen-Un – An Archaeological Assessment'', Historic Environment Service, Cornwall County Council〕
