All sunlit was the earth I trod,
The heavens were frankest blue;
But secret as the thoughts of God
The stones of Stanton Drew.
Sir William Watson (1858-1935)

Lanyon Quoit in Cornwall, dating back to 3500-2500 BC, predates the pyramids. Once tall enough for a horse and rider to pass under, its capstone weighs over 13 tonnes. Originally atop four stones, it fell in 1815 and was re-erected at a lower height. Its purpose remains debated, from burial chamber to ritual site.

The Mên-an-Tol ('Stone of the Hole') has a 1.2m holed stone with a 51cm hole, flanked by two 1.3m stones. Part of a 19-stone ancient circle, its purpose and position are still a mystery, possibly linked to a burial mound. #mênantol #ancientstonebothering #ancientstones #menantol #cornwall
