Holed Stone
|
|
|
For what superstitious purpose this stone was used it is vain to conjecture. The only tradition connected therewith is that persons afflicted with the crick, or rheumatism, who crawl, or are drawn, through it, are cured by this operation. Hence it is called by the neighbouring villagers the "Crick-stone." On page 19 of "The Land's End District: Its antiquities, natural history, natural phenomena and scenery" by Richard Edmonds (1862).
