Two nice stones, outliers from The Hurlers stone circles, each standing about 2 metres tall, and about the same distance apart. These stones are said to be the Pipers which were turned to stone for playing the music for the Hurlers on the Sabbath.
Not too far away to the north is what looks like another one, but on closer inspection is some more modern memorial for something.

The Pipers protectively guarding a fine collection of frog spawn at their base! March 2012.

First noted by W C Borlase in 1869 but surprisingly not mentioned by his great grandfather Dr Borlase after his visit to the hurlers in the mid 1700's.

My friend Jackie noticed this small cross carved in the western of the two Pipers last September. (Centre of stone, just above the line of the horizon.) Presumably another attempt to Christianize these lovely old megaliths?

Following my comment on mattimpey's 'orb' [lens-flare] photo at the Pipers, posted up today:
Jackie, in red, stands almost due south, between the two small stones which were found by their involvement in the possible ritual movement dowsed from the Pipers last September.

The Pipers at the Hurlers.
I was just trying to line up the lensflare so it appeared to pass between the stones, feel free to ignore the picture :-D

The Pipers, two stones adjacent to The Hurlers on Bodmin Moor. This was taken in May 2006 - one of the coldest Springs on record and in the week we were there...lots of lovely cold heavy rain...

August 2006, on a rainy afternoon close by the Hurlers stone circle. The Pipers in monochrome, since the natural colours were so desaturated anyway. A very exposed location. Cornish folklore question: Why would you have pipers at a hurling game?

These are the Pipers,adjacent to the Hurlers so must be a part of the complex. The hill in the distance is where the Cheese ring is to be found.
