A further legend suggests that the stones cannot be accurately counted.
This ties in with plot threads featured in Barrow Hill. The fictional
archaeologist, Amelia Rumford, was written into the story to expose that,
not only, can the stones at Barrow Hill not be counted, but
she thinks they may be able to move!
Another Barrow Hill
connection, in this area, is the Cross of King Doniert. Two large carved
stones, from the 6th century (shown above), mark the death of the Ancient
British King of Dumnonia. The tales of his slumber, beneath the earth,
may well have influenced Barrow Hill's sleeping power force.
Beyond stone
circles, barrows and the ancient mines, Bodmin Moor is also famous for
it's 16th century Jamaica Inn, and the urban legend by the name of "The
Beast of Bodmin Moor". Visitors and locals have spotted, what is
believed to be, a large predatory cat, not unlike a panther! Whether the
sightings are genuine or not, the moor is an unearthly place when the
mists descend. Do not get stranded out there, and never go alone.
