liminal: Transient Parish - Dry Tree Menhir

The Dry Tree menhir is located very close to the site used for the Goonhilly Village Green festival site and formed another point of departure for Transient Parish. The menhir stands as an early manifestation of the human desire to reach beyond the constraints of our bodies, touching the sky and projecting our imagined influence beyond the confines of the earth.

 

The Dry Tree menhir also forms a central point where the boundaries of the five surrounding parishes of St Keverne, Mawgan-in-Meneage, Cury, St Martin-in-Meneage and Ruan Minor all meet. For Goonhilly Village Green, children from each of these parishes will compose the peals that will sound throughout the day on the five bells in the tower representing each parish.
