Trippet
Stones
Of
the 28 stones thought to have originally stood in this circle, only eight stones
remain. The stones are taller than
average for the stone circles in Cornwall, standing between 4ft and 5ft in
height. The name for the circle - Trippet - originates from the folk lore belief that
the stone are petrified bodies of young girls that were punished for dancing on
the Sabbath.
To
the north east of the circle, a stone circle called the Stripple Stones can be
seen along the horizon.
Directions
Past the Jamaica Inn on the A30 towards St. Breward the circle is visible from the road. The Stripple Stones are approx. 1km away.
