Gweal, Isles Of Scilly
Gweal (/ɡwiːl/ GWEEL; Cornish: Gwydhyel, lit. 'place of trees') is one of the Isles of Scilly. It is the largest of the seven Norrard Rocks due west of Bryher. The name perhaps refers back to a time before most of the islands' area was inundated. On the top of Gweal Hill are the remains of an enterance grave and two cairns.
