Fairy Whetstone

: FAIRY MEN CAPTURED.

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.
