Cornish stiles

Perhaps rather more modern than some of the others.

Granite wall and stile.

Far newer than the others in this series / album. It wasn't there on my previous visit in 2015. The path from the road to Bosigran Head, Zennor Parish, Cornwall.

It's granite scenery with evidence of very ancient fields and their walls, and more recent tin mining activity (although not so recent, really; the tin mine never really paid its way and closed down in the 1860s). Best on large and then large again for detail.

Possibly I posted this a while back but this is a different angle and weather. Note how these stones are a mismatch of styles, Modern-ish at the top and industial tin and copper mining era (with the notches) below and the rest probably placed there long before. There are records of this path in the 13th century but it's likely to be far older than that. The stiles collapse from time to time (perhaps once every 300 years!) and you see local repairs making good as required!
