The Hurlers, Cornwall

The Hurlers is a group of three prehistoric stone circles, situated on eastern Craddock Moor on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. The three stone circles lie on a line from roughly south-west to north-east, and have diameters of 115ft, 138ft and 108ft. The two outer stone circles are circular. The middle circle is slightly elliptical. Around half of the stones in the circles are now missing and some are recumbent. Just to the west of the circles are two standing stones known as the Pipers, possibly forming an entrance to the circles. The monument is in the care of English Heritage. The monument is within the council area of Cornwall.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1008117.
