buildings and remains of human bodies have been found; the presumed

Dr. Boase remarks that the rocks of this parish are precisely similar
to the rocks of St. Anthony in Powder, on the other side of Falmouth
Harbour; and that it is a very curious circumstance that three

rocks, notwithstanding their being situated at a considerable distance
from each other, and respectively belonging to distinct groups of
granite.
