Mên-an-tol (for Pam).

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'.

I can't remember if I added this to my suggestions for your visit, George. Probably not as I was very aware of your restricted time-frame!

I've heard this is for curing the backache. You have to crawl through a certain number of times against the sun. I did try it once and had backache afterwards. So maybe I did it in the wrong direction.
