Massive blocks and balls of granite measuring many metres and weighing hundreds of tonnes apparently balancing high up on other rocks. It would seem to them to be totally un-natural and indeed Super-natural. Thus The Devils ... (To use God's name would be blasphemy) Marbles (because so many were so round)
