Duloe stone circle

The prehistoric stone circle at Duloe, near Looe, is the smallest in Cornwall with a diameter of around twelve metres. It is thought to have been constructed around 2,000BC. The stones seem likely to have come from Herodsfoot, about two miles away. The largest weighs about nine tons. There has been much conjecture as to their purpose, but in truth we may never know why the ancient peoples constructed them.
