The Piper’s Stones – Athgreany
This Bronze Age stone circle is comprised of sixteen granite stones, with an outlier stone, referred to as ‘The Piper’.
Ordnance survey letters have previously described the site as once having twenty-nine stones, however it appears that many have now been displaced, with some of the remaining stones not in the positions they once were.
The stones that are still standing today range in height from about four foot to six foot.
Folklore claims that pipers once played here, encouraging the young women to dance. One version states that all involved turned to stone for violating the sanctity of the Sabbath day, while another tale says that they all went up in flames.
