 The Modern Antiquarian.com | UK | Carn Brea (Hillfort)
They add that Carn Brea has one of the most remarkable examples of a mythical sacrificial rock (at SW683407)..."a huge oval boulder studded with basins and which has the name of the 'Giant's Crocks and Kettles'." I think this is the rock pictured by Hamish, and to a lesser extent in one of my pics.
The reason that Carn Brea is covered in stones whilst St.Agnes Beacon is not, relates to the legend of Bolster (the giant of St.Agnes) feuding with the giant on Carn Brea and throwing all the rock around the Beacon at Carn Brea.
Carn Brea was long presumed to be an Iron Age hillfort, but discoveries proved it to have been originally fortified in the early Neolithic.

 About Carn Marth
Carn Marth lies a couple of miles southeast of Redruth and is one of the series of ancient hills that run down the backbone of Cornwall stretching all the way to Lands End.
The topmost parts of the Carn are clothed in Lowland Heath, Gorse, Bracken and a generous mixture of wildflowers.
So it was that the Carn Marth Protection Group was born and with the sterling help and support of hundreds, if not thousands of people, mostly local of course but some from surprisingly far away, saved the hill and secured a portion of the top for the enjoyment of all.
