Mên-an-tol (for Pam).
Mên-an-tol; simply Cornish for holed stone.
A mysterious monument. The experts have no idea what this was for. All they know is that the allignment of the stones has been altered in fairly recent history. The stones were originally in a triangle formation, again no one knows why, nor why they were re-positioned at some point in the past 300 years.
More recently, babies have been passed through the hole for good luck and "...the ritual of crawling through the hole nine times widdershins was said to cure rickets and scrofula" - Craig Weatherhill in 'Belerion, Ancient Sites of Land's End'.

Nice pic, but do we know what secrets are held here? Does the sun align with the stones midsummer?? Or the shadow of the big pillar go through the hole to signify some pagan fertility festival..MMM?
Best Wishes

Andy Rodker club has replied to Peter_Private_Box clubNot sure if you read my notes beneath the shot.
I don't think I can do any more. This isn't the place to go into all the theories. It is a photo sharing website after all and we don't have the space for this here. But, as I mentioned in my notes, I have given some idea of the fact that NOTHING is known. There is more but short of quoting from a whole chapter I can only refer you back to Craig Weatherhill's excellent book, widely available.
Best wishes,
Andy
Il me semble que le national geographic avait fait un documentaire la dessus.
