The Pipers is a Bronze Age standing stone monument located near Boleigh Farm in west Cornwall, comprising two granite monoliths positioned approximately 130 and 230 metres south-west of the farm. The stones stand as part of a broader ritual landscape that includes the nearby Men Scryfa stone and the Boleigh stone circle, suggesting a significant focus of ceremonial or territorial significance during the Bronze Age. Both stones are roughly hewn granite pillars of considerable height, characteristic of Cornish standing stone traditions. The monument's precise original purpose remains uncertain, though standing stones of this period are typically interpreted as territorial markers, burial monuments, or sites of ritual gathering within Bronze Age communities.
