And here's a quote that kind of goes with the photo at the top of the page as well: ' ... Shivering almost uncontrollably, she moved back a little from the Quoit, and looked out at the view. The sky was still quite light, the sea a silky silver and gold reflection, tinged with blue, and turning milky at its edges. No light came from the moon, which was hidden in its dark phase ... The capstone was shaped like a giant granite hand, curved over the four vertical slabs that supported it. It looked like it was moving ever so slightly. Jessica blinked, and refocussed her eyes. The stone gave the impression of flickering every now and then, as if blown by the wind. That was impossible, the stone weighed over 30 tons. Was it balanced so precisely on the other stones that the wind could move it? Or did the background gorse and ferns shaking in the wind give it the appearance of moving. Or was it simply her imagination ...'
