CHEESEWRING, a remarkable Druidical monument 6 miles N of Liskeard, in Cornwall. It consists of tabular granite blocks, heaped upon one another, smaller ones below, larger ones above; is 24 feet high; and has somewhat the shape of a colossal fungus. Borlase thought that it was an idol worshipped by the Druids. Other Druidical monuments are near. The surrounding ground is high moorland, and commands extensive views.
