Item: Hooting Cairn, Carn Kenidjack, Tregeseal, Cornwall.
Description: Taken from below, this is a photograph of Hooting Cairn, Carn Kenidjack. According to 'Journey to the Stones' by Ian Cooke, 1987, the name of the cairn is supposedly derived from the fact that the rocks emit a low moaning sound in windy weather. Eventually it can rise to a loud hoot as the wind increases. Reverend Butler suggested that the name comes from Keine or Keann (head or ridge); Nyge (fly); Hac (snake), hence head of the flying serpent
