MenuNine Maidens, Cornwall
The Nine Maidens is a late Neolithic stone row near St Columb Major, Cornwall. The row, 350ft long, comprises nine stone megaliths and is situated in a field alongside the A39 between St Columb Major and Wadebridge. The stones are irregularly spaced and aligned in a north-easterly direction. They are aligned towards a stone known as the Fiddler, which lies on the moorland approximately 850yds away. In myth, the nine maidens were turned into stone as punishment for dancing on a Sunday. The Fiddler is said to be the petrified remains of the musician who played for the dancers. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
