Grumbla ({{lang-kw|An Gromlegh}}, meaning the cromlech) is a hamlet in the parish of Sancreed, Cornwall, England, UK. ToponymyRecorded as Gromleigh in 1504, meaning cromlech or prehistoric tomb.[1] Referred to as Grumbler in an advertisement on the front page of The Cornishman in 1880.[2] GeographyThe hamlet of Grumbla along with Higher Grumbla, Lower Grumbla and Grumbla Common is a small area within the parish of Sancreed, to the west of Sancreed Beacon.[3][4] Grumbla lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Almost a third of Cornwall has the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation, which has the same status and protection as a National Park. HistoryThe remains of a possible prehistoric tomb, or cromlech, after which Grumbla is named, can be found at {{gbmapping|SW40492948}}. It consists of a circular earth bank lined with big stones, but its identification is uncertain and it could be the remains of a hut circle.[5] There is slab of rock, {{convert|50|m}} north of this ({{gbmapping|SW40492953}}), set on edge and apparently artificially erected, which could be the support of a dolmen, or the retaining circle of a barrow.[5] Ramparts of the Iron Age hillfort of Caer Bran is {{convert|700|m}} are to the south of the hamlet, and the Iron Age settlement of Carn Euny is about {{convert|900|m|}} to the south-west. The leasehold tenement of ″Little Grumbler″ was put up for sale at the Bird-in-Hand Inn, Sancreed Churchtown on Friday, 14 May 1880.
