I like a good juxtaposition! A garish blue tree-house in the corner of a garden , whilst behind stands a solitary Menhir. Cornwall is rich in these standing stones, originating from the Bronze Age. They are usually known by their Cornish name of "menhir" (men stone and hir long). Their use varied from grave sites to religious buildings.
