Stone circle as seen from eastern flank of the hill, looking ENE... Not marked on any maps, so I take it it is modern?

How did these two get here? Must have been brought all the way from the coast near Land’s End....not an easy job!
Nice aerial shot of Duloe Church, poosibly in the 1950s. You can just see the circle top right.

Close up of the eastern side of the headland showing the banks and ditches (centre picture) coming down the side of the cliff.
With the winter sun setting in the west, one last shot of Showery Tor before heading back to the car.
Early morning mist blows across the northern flank of the hill on a fresh November morning.
Sun comes up over the downs and the cairn. Sharptor is the hill to the left.
The eastern cairn has a outer circle of stones with some uprights still in place.
Taken in the 1930s, this shows a different view of The Hurlers, in that there are far fewer stones upright than there are now. The main stones that can be seen are, I think, the middle circle.
Photo is from a collection in Looe Museum.
It’s up there somewhere? ...you might just be able to pick out the Cheesewring through the mist.
A merge of three photos taken on the morning of the autumnal equinox. Didn’t have enough of us to stand on each stone..but gives some idea of the layout.
Hopefully a better photo than earlier ones...although being mid July the grass is longer and stones less prominent.

This is a big lump of stone...looking west. Mrs Hamhead in distance off to find a stone circle.
Mrs Hamhead points to another supposed menhir built into the wall.
The remains of the cist from the path looking north west towards Bearah Tor.
Looking east, early spring allows the whole of the site to be viewed, not just the cist. This photo is taken from the pointed western end of the cairn with the cist in the distance next to the bare tree.
