STONE CIRCLES size is above that of any other circle in the county. Only one other circle in Cornwall has a central stone of undoubted antiquity, viz. Boscawen-un, and the possession of such a central monolith marks them out as of exceptional importance, which appears to have been the case, since one is mentioned in a Welsh triad and the other has this elaborate and unique circumvallation. The earthwork seems of too slight a character for defensive purposes and it is likely that here, as at Stone-henge, the bank was intended as an enclosure—it may be a sacred enclosure—giving a finish to the monument. The entrance (S. 79° W.) is clearly marked, and was perhaps designed to admit processions of some sort; its choice of direction, towards Trippet Stones, may have been more than accident
