What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records The Hurlers: three stone circles with paired outlying stones as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Hurlers are three Bronze Age stone circles, likely dating to between 2000 and 1000 BCE, and may have been used for ritual or ceremonial purposes. Local folklore associates them with a game of hurling played by giants or supernatural beings.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
