Three tall
stones stand leaning at all angles in an open field. Their purpose is unknown, and they
may once have been part of a larger stone monument, possibly a circle. Although they were
said to commemorate a battle won by King Harold, they very likely date from the Bronze
Age.
A folklore tradition tells how they were thrown down from the nearby Sugar Loaf mountain by Jack o'Kent, a giant, when he was playing pitch and toss with the Devil (as you do :-).
Trelleck was a major medieval settlement, and was named after the stones tre - three, lech - stone. The stones are depicted on a sundial in the church.
Access: Just south of Trellick along the B4293. Signposted
