prehistoric propped stone. zennor hill. Recently added to the scilly and cornwall historic environmental record this propped stone is one of a growing number of such stone though to be ‘constructed’ rather than natural features. They tend to have directional orientations pointing to significant points on the horizon or to other land-scape features. they also sited to mark out special places in the land-scape and in this case is associated with an area of flat ground at the summit of zennor hill. this area has many special features including my recently discovered ‘sun-stone’ that might be a seasonal sun dial. it is also close to zennor and sperris quoits. #propped_stone #prehistoric #landscape_feature #alignment #bnw from instagram: http://ift.tt/20vVmcc
