The Twelve Apostles of Hollywood

Stone Circle

Folklore

Following on from Fitzcoraldo's quote, it says:
According to another account, the stones do not actually represent the Apostles, only 'it is allowed that the Apostles put them there'! and it was the farmer himself who wished to take away all the stones, but was stopped by the proprietor.
This is a report from the Rev. W.C. Lukis, who'd been sent on a Survey of various megalithic monuments of Scotland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland in the summer of 1884. The sort of mission I'm sure many contributors here would have been quite happy to assist with.
