carn brea holed_stone.
holed_stone. carn brea. these large holed stones have associated with ceremonial sites across europe where many have used to form threshold entrances to tombs and entrance graves. the closest one to this fine specimen is known as the men_an_tol and is now thought to be part of a stone circle although it has been found to be associated with a stone mound with might have been the remains of a cairn. the hole are naturally formed by a combination of acidic rain water and wind agitation. carn brea is the site of a neolithic tor enclosure and a later iron age roundhouse settlement. many hundreds of Flint arrow head have been found leading to speculation that it was a site of a major battle although a much more straightforward explanation might be that these sites were involved as centres of trade, seasonal gathering and feasting.
