Fairy Whetstone

FAIRY MEN CAPTURED.

Welsh Folk-lore
The small spindle whorls which belong to the stone age, and which have
been discovered in the circular huts, called Cyttiau'r Gwyddelod, which
are the earliest remains of human abodes in Wales, are by the people
called Fairy Whetstones, but, undoubtedly, this name was given them from
their resemblance to the large circular whetstone at present in common
use, the finders being ignorant of the original use of these whorls.
