22 THE ANNTJAI, EXCURSION. 



The Cheesewring itself was described in the guide-book 

 specially prepared for the visit as having "the appearance of 

 several separate cheese-shaped blocks of granite of gigantic size 

 piled one on the top of the other, and in imminent danger of top- 

 pliDg over in consequence of the blocks at the bottom being of 

 smaller diameter than those above." This, however, was found 

 to be hardly the case now. The quarry beneath has been worked 

 almost up to the ground on which the Cheesewring stands, and 

 when they were blasting near it, the directors of the quarry . 

 thought it advisable to put a number of granite blocks to support || 

 the overhanging blocks of the Cheesewring. The stone circles 

 known as "the Hurlers " were also visited, as well as the 

 Longstone and Trethewy Cromlech ; the members then returning 

 to Liskeard. 



Before leaving, Mr. lago, at the request of Canon Moor, 

 gave the Welsh Society a hearty invitation to visit Cornwall 

 again at some future time, Bodmin being especially named as 

 the next suitable centre.
