I’m sure I’ve said before, since childhood I’ve been absolutely fascinated by
the gigantic boulders of Devil’s Den. There’s just something powerful and
awe-inspiring about this jumble of prehistoric rocks; the more time I can spend
there, the better, though even just a glimpse fires the imagination. Here’s a
close-up of some of the boulders near the curve in the road which leads past
Triangular Field. Even if no battle had take place here, the sheer size and age
of the boulders is enough to captivate any and all visitors.
