A Cornish stile consists of a number of blocks of granite arranged so that they form convenient human steps across or over an obstacle yet prove insurmountable for stock. The lane into which this stile led almost proved insurmountable for this human. Granite is found in profusion in this landscape, hence its use in a stile.
