On the outskirts of the village of Minions are no fewer than three stone circles, collectively known as The Hurlers. The circles, which date from the Bronze Age, around 1500BC, were probably erected as some kind of sacred site, although like Stonehenge, they could have served some other, unknown purpose. According to local folklore, the stones were once men; foolishly, they decided to play hurlers on the Sabbath, and were turned to stone for their sins.
