Standing stones in the central Hurlers stone circle is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
The central Hurlers stone circle, including its standing stones, is likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical dating of such monuments in Cornwall. The site may have had ritual or ceremonial significance, and local folklore links it to the legend of the Hurlers, supernatural figures said to have turned to stone while playing a game of hurling.
