Nine Maidens Stone Row

A late Neolithic stone row in the parish of St Columb Major, Cornwall, comprising nine granite megaliths stretching approximately 108 metres in a northeast alignment. Stone heights range from 0.8 to over 2.1 metres, making them the largest stones of any known row in Cornwall. The row aligns toward a solitary menhir called the Fiddler, located roughly 800 metres to the north. Known in Cornish as Naw-voz or Naw-whoors ("the nine sisters"), legend holds the maidens were petrified for dancing on the Sabbath. First documented by Richard Carew in 1605.
