Description
Some of the megaliths / standings stones at The Hurlers, a group of three stone circles near Minions on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in southwest England. The circles have diameters of between 42m /138ft and 33m / 108ft and around half the stones are still present. According to legend they were once a group of men who were playing Cornish hurling on a Sunday and were transformed into stones as punishment, hence the name.....! The building in the background was once the Housemans engine house and part of the South Phoenix tin mine; it is now the Minions Heritage Centre.
