EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic allure of the Hurlers Stone Circles in Cornwall. Dating back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, these ancient stone circles have long fascinated archaeologists and visitors alike. The general view presented here showcases the remarkable preservation of this prehistoric site amidst the rugged beauty of moorland. Legend has it that these stone circles are actually men who were petrified for daring to play hurling on a sacred Sunday. Such tales only add to the mystique surrounding this extraordinary archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon Peter Williams' expertly captured image, we can't help but be transported back in time, imagining what life was like for those who once gathered within these hallowed stones. The significance of this neolithic and bronze age monument cannot be overstated; it stands as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and spiritual beliefs. Its circular design suggests an intricate understanding of celestial alignments and rituals performed during important astronomical events. Through this photograph, Historic England allows us a glimpse into our distant past, reminding us of our deep-rooted connection with history and heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that even thousands of years later, these stone circles continue to inspire awe and curiosity among all who encounter them.
