"The Circle [Scorhill] is mentioned in a paper written by the Rev. Samuel Rowe, in 1830, who also noticed the remains of a stone row to the south of it. Other rows were noticed near it by Mr. G. W. Ormerod, in 1858, and pointing towards the site of a dolman, or cromlech, which he says bore the name of the Tree Boys."
Cresswell 1921
Map - Three Boys
[I have contacted English Heritiage and tehy are fairly convinced it was never a Dolman, most probably simply being the terminal for the attached stone row. Still - makes me wander, could there be a story in their like the three spinsters of Spinsters Rock, who built their Dolman before breakfast?]
