Cornish Stones

Pack of 2 Men-An-Tol & Chûn Quoit A6 postcards / mini prints.

Men-An-Tol

In the far corner of Cornwall rests four ancient stones, believed to date back to the bronze age.

There are many legends and folk tales surrounding the holed stone in particular. In one story it is said that the site has a piskie or fairy guardian who can make miraculous cures and reverse evil spells. It was also believed that if a woman passes through the holed stone seven times backwards during a full moon she will soon become pregnant.

Chûn Quoit

Chûn Quoit has been sitting high on moorland overlooking heathered hills and open sea between Pendeen and Morvah since the Neolithic period. There is of course a folklore surrounding this quoit: “The Castle on Morvah Downs was the abode of the giant Old Denbras the Hurler who is killed in a wrassling match with a burly young man named Tom. He inherits Chûn Castle and the lands about on the condition that he buries the giant at his favourite seat on the hill facing out to sea.”
