The Hurlers stand north of Liskeard near the village of Minions on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor in east Cornwall. Just to the west of the stone circles are two standing stones known as the Pipers. Nearby are Rillaton Barrow and Trethevy Quoit, an entrance grave from the Neolithic period. The name "Hurlers" derives from a legend, in which men were playing Cornish hurling on a Sunday and were magically transformed into stones as punishment. The "Pipers" are supposed to be the figures of two men who played tunes on a Sunday and suffered the same fate. Hurling is still played every year in St Ives and St Columb Major, near Newquay. According to another legend, it is impossible to accurately count the number of standing stones. Seth Lakeman sings The Hurlers 2008 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI448Nurerg
