Men-an-Tol Neolithic standing stones, Cornwall

---

The Mên-an-Tol (also Men an Toll) is a small formation of standing stones near the Madron–Morvah road in Cornwall, United Kingdom (grid reference SW426349). It is about three miles northwest of Madron. It is also known locally as the "Crick Stone". The name Mên-an-Tol in the Cornish Language literally means "the hole stone". It consists of three upright granite stones: a round stone with its middle holed out with two small standing stones to each side, in front of and behind the hole. When seen at an angle from one side, the stones form a three-dimensional "101". These stones might have been the entrance to some now vanished tomb. It is possible that they were part of some ancient calendar.
