Gweal, Isles of Scilly

Gweal ( ; ) 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 remanence of an entrance grave and two cairns. The water surrounding the island is about 52 feet deep.
