The two stones named as the hurlers are no doubt the pair of menhirs or standing stones known as the Pipers which lie on the bounds of St Cleer and Linkinhorne, and are some few hundred feet to the west south west of the Hurlers stone circles, which are themselves wholly within the parish of Linkinhorne.
