The Giant Bolster of St. Agnes Beacon #folklorethursday It was said he could step from The Beacon to Carn Brea in Redruth in one huge stride. The giant of Carn Brea angered the Bolster so much he cleared his own hill of stones throwing them at Carn Brea so it became covered in granite boulders.

Nine Maidens stone circle, Wendron. Sadly not intact with only four standing and two built into the field wall. Originally there were two circles here. #cornwall #standingstonesunday #bronzeage
Nature is not a place to visit. It is our home
The River Fal not looking too inviting today but I still braved the swim. 🥶🩱🏊

A whopper for #StandingStoneSunday 😮 - of all the stone rows of Dartmoor, Drizzle Combe has some of the largest terminal stones This stone is set at right angles to the row, with a prominent lug (head? Face?) at the top 🤔 An incredible Late Neo/Bronze Age complex 🤩 📷 My own, last week
We cross the threshold of a stone circle and are engulfed by a sense of ongoing ritual. Engulfed by a sense of intimate lithic conversations, power dynamics unfolding across slow centuries. The Long Neolithic is palpable. The Long Neolithic is living. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
