Description I read somewhere that this arrangement of the stones is inauthentic. Apparently the stones had fallen and were set up this way in the 19th or 20th century. Comments anyone?

My second thought on seeing Men-an-Tol was that it looked like a hoax! (My first was the thrill of discovery and the beauty all around). The arrangement just doesn't feel right, though. It's really a stone circle, but the "entrance stone" in the centre is illogical. While most megaliths are mysterious, they always feel purposeful on some level. Men-an-Tol is attractive, but doesn't look terribly useful!
