Rock Outcrop in Isles of Scilly
The Devil's Punchbowl, a massive Outcrop on Wingletang Down, I'm sure the Ancient folk would have been fascinated by this amazing outcrop, As the top stone would probably have looked to them like it had been placed there and the bottom stone just doesn't look like it should still be standing at all, It seems that this outcrop was some sort of focal point as there are many cairns to the South and East of it
