About Men An Tol Cornwall.
The Men-An-Tol is located about 4 miles north west of Penzance just off the road between Madron and Morvah. This ancient site is situated on a stretch of open moor land known as Penwith Moor and Boskednan circle is just visible to the east. The name Mên-an-Tol apparently translates as 'holed stone' and this is a reference to the central holed stone in the present arrangement of three stones in a row. The monument consists of four main stones. There are three standing stones and one fallen and all the stones are around 1 metre to 1.22 metres in height.
No where else in the UK does this arrangement of two aligned standing stones with one holed stone exist. It is said that passing through the hole in the centre in the direction of the sun help to cure ailments.
It is uncertain as to the purpose of this megalithic and speculations range from a burial chamber to a stone circle. Traces have been found of an additional eleven stones. The Men-an-Tol is probably one of the most controversial as well as most photographed megalithic sites in Cornwall and is well worth a visit.
