Men-anTol is a fascinating structure near Madron in Cornwall. It is apparently the done thing to climb through the holes stone nine times against the sun(which gives you an idea of the scale) to cure rickets and aid fertility (although I have to wonder if both can be accomplished at the same time). Julian Cope says that the site was once clearly a stone circle with five stones remaining.
Once again, Andy Burnham has a fairly comprehensive listing of places on the internet where you can see pictures of this site.
