Consisting mainly of diorite, and porphyritic granite these stones originate from Jersey's south coast but now rest on top of the native Rozel conglomerate. It is unknown how they got there. Burdo examined them in 1928 and suggested that they may be the remains of a prehistoric monument that came to rest on the bedrock as the land below them was eroded away by wave action. Location: In the gully immediately to the east of the small exposed pinacle off La Coupe headland. Most of the stones are in the northern part of the gully but 10 are 45m to the south east.
