Cornwall is full of rock and stones. Under the soil there is rock, and in the soil there are small stones, broken from rock by the weather. Rock fragments on the beach are worn till they are pebbles and sand, smoothed by waves. But rock can be cut to big stones, long stones. These are special. We find them in ancient, historic sites, perhaps in a circle, or in a row or all alone. Some place names give us their history, and sometimes there is a fable. Some are on farms. Sometimes the stones were white, perhaps bright white quartz.
