Description
Ancient standing stones, The Pipers, stand sentinel like on remote and waterlogged Bodmin Moor near to the Hurlers central stone circle at Minions, Cornwall, UK. Legends say the musicians were turned to stone with the hurler players for festivities on a religious day. The 2m high granite stones or megaliths frame distant Stowe Hill. The hill has evidence of ancient habitation and the amazing Cheesewring natural rock formation. A gold cup and grave goods were found at nearby Rillaton Barrow. Taken early one Autumn morning.
