The Hurlers at Minions on Bodmin Moor
|
Un equipo de arqueólogos está decidido a iniciar la investigación de un cuarto círculo oculto identificado por geofísicos en un antiguo monumento megalítico de Cornualles (Inglaterra) conocido como The Hurlers .
El Plymouth Herald informa de que este misterioso círculo fue identificado por primera vez a principios de la década de 1990, aunque solo recientemente se han conseguido los fondos necesarios para iniciar las investigaciones de un proyecto conocido como Reading the Hurlers (‘Interpretando The Hurlers’) . Arqueólogos de la Unidad Arqueológica de Cornualles, geólogos y voluntarios trabajarán conjuntamente para desvelar los secretos de este círculo oculto.
The Hurlers’ es uno de los monumentos prehistóricos más famosos de Cornualles, y consta de tres círculos megalíticos y un par de menhires conocido como The Pipers (‘Los gaiteros’). El nombre de ‘The Hurlers’ proviene de la leyenda que cuenta cómo un grupo de hombres fue convertido en piedra por jugar al hurling (deporte típico de Cornualles) un domingo en lugar de ir a la iglesia. Los dos “gaiteros” serían las figuras petrificadas de los dos músicos que tocaban la gaita durante el partido de hurling y sufrieron el mismo destino. [...] Ancient Origins
Mystery of 4,000-year-old standing stones investigated | Plymouth Herald
A hidden fourth circle at a mysterious set of 4,000-year-old standing stones in Cornwall is being excavated by archaeologists.
The Hurlers are a Bronze Age, triple stone circle complex, near the village of Minions on Bodmin Moor. The name comes from the legend that tells of local people being turned to stone for playing hurlers on the Sabbath.
The current excavation, part of the Heritage Lottery Funded Reading the Hurlers project, aims to uncover a site that was identified by geophysics in the early 1990s.
Experts from Cornwall Archaeological Unit will be working alongside geologists and volunteers to shed light on the potential for a "fourth" circle at The Hurlers...
