Ancient granite stile.

Ancient granite stile.
One of many such stiles on the old path between Vogue and Treskerby. I'll upload a few of them as and when. They often span a brooklet such as this as well as hedges (Cornish for stone walls!)

Thank you. Judite.
Some people are advocating their complete removal so that this path can be accessed by wheelchair users. I add NO comment here.

An interesting style of stile Andy..........I don't think I've ever seen one, but then I've rarely been in Cornwall.

Do you think the stones were quarried for this particular purpose, or have they been nicked from an old Roman road and re-purposed?

Thank you, Keith.
More likely they were from ancient stone circles and other prehistoric sites. And there are many 'rounds' hereabouts which were bronze and iron age settlements and almost certainly defended with granite walls and these could well have been old gate posts and so on.

Interesting shot and informations! Apparently many people and animals have already walked over them, they are quite worn out. Have a nice weekend Andy!

It takes a lot to grind granite down, Grobi! I suspect these were simply the original shapes.
Many thanks!

As the saying goes, even the soft grinds the hard stone. Don't underestimate the large number of creatures that have walked these stones over the centuries. They had sand and dirt under their shoes or hooves, which contributes to wear and tear.
