This fantastic prehistoric cairn contains several different phases of use and shows a significant investment in the area during the Bronze Age. It is the most complex funerary monument I have come across to date with both an outer wall and an inner wall and chamber. The site contains multiple cist spaces and there is evidence to suggest that several cists occupied the inner central chamber and then subsequently outer walls too. Sadly the antiquarian William Copeland Borlase excavated the site in the nineteenth century and made substantial alterations. The position of the cairn on the cliffs above a dramatic coastline and its imposing size and scale make this one of the most impressive sites I have visited for some time.

“[Family life must have been different] in the days when a family had fed on the produce of the same few miles of country for six generations, and that perhaps was why they saw nymphs in the fountains and dryads in the wood - they were not mistaken for there was in a sense real (not metaphorical) connections between them and the countryside. What had been earth and air and later corn, and later still bread, really was in them. We of course who live on a standardized international diet…are artificial beings and have no connection (save in sentiment) with any place on earth. We are synthetic men, uprooted. The strength of the hills is not ours.”

— ~ J.R.R Tolkien, from an unpublished letter, June 22, 1930

“If you feel but don’t write, you’re not a poet (where are the words?). If you write but don’t feel, you’re not a poet (where is the soul?). I prefer someone who feels but doesn’t write, to someone who writes but doesn’t feel.”
