Men-an-Tol
Men an Tol is an enigmatic archaeological monument located in the parish of Morvah, comprising a circular holed stone and two upright stones.
It is believed to date from the Bronze Age.
The name is from the Cornish words 'maen' meaning 'stone' 'an' meaning 'the' and 'tol' meaning 'hole'.
The Men-an-Tol is thought to possess healing powers and many visitors pass through the centre of the stone in honour of this tradition.
