[Stones] Scilly Isles

[Alan S>]

I can't remember the exact number, but there are something like a dozen on St Mary's alone, including the complex at Porth Hellick Down. Most of the tombs are on the smaller uninhabited islands, such as Gugh and Samson featured in the program.  Who knows how many are submerged?

Did anyone watch "Coast"?

I had no idea there were almost 80 Bronze Age burial chambers on the Scilly
Isles. Impressive.

But the theorising patter of the presenter and archaeologist that Bronze Age
people may have commuted from the mainland in log boats to construct them,
was just too silly (pun intended):-)

Hwyl,
