Drift stones (standing stones)
Also known as the Triganeeris Sisters, or simply ‘the Sisters’, the Drift Stones are an impressive pair of standing stones situated in a field just off the A30, a few miles west of Penzance near the village of Drift. The largest of the stones, both of which are over two meters tall, is said to look like an old lady dressed in a cloak.
Also known as the Drift Stones, these 2 stones, 8ft and 9ft tall, stand 18 ft apart in a field to the NE of Boscawen-un stone circle and to the west of the Blind Fiddler. These stones are likely to have formed part of a ritual area centred around the stone circle and incorporating other monuments long since disappeared.
