Thanks Nigel and Drewbhoy.
It does look cowl-like, actually and names do get altered/corrupted over time. You could probably fill a page with the various theories on the symbolism of quartz in prehistoric monuments. I've always liked the moon-rock one, personally, although in Ireland they're more likely to be referred to as sun-stones.
The fact that these particular ones have names is interesting though.
