Additional Details:
Are among the most dreaded of the many rocks and reefs which fringe the iron-bound Cornish Coast. They are situated on the east of the Lizard Peninsula opposite St. Keverne. Many fine ships have been lost on these rocks, notable among which was the John transport wrecked in May 1833, when nearly 300 lives were sacrificed. There is a bell-buoy to warn passing ships.
