The Pipers, St Buryan

The Pipers are a pair of standing stones near The Merry Maidens stone circle located 2 miles (3 km) to the south of the village of St Buryan, in Cornwall, United Kingdom.

The Pipers are on a northeast to southwest alignment which points almost directly at The Merry Maidens.

[2] A different legend states that the two stones were set up following a 10th-century battle in which the Anglo-Saxon English, led by Æthelstan, fought the Cornish Celts, led by Howel and supported by the Danes.

[2] His descendant William Copeland Borlase excavated the stones in 1871 with no result.
