Troy Town Maze

Maze

None

Troy Town Maze has been the subject of much speculation as to its origins and why it should have been built there. It is a seven ring unicursal (single line) pebble maze of a type common in Scandinavia where such mazes were usually built on the sea shore to protect sailors by ensuring a fair wind.
Troy Town on Agnes is rumoured to have been built by Amor Clarke, one of the lighthouse keepers, in 1795. However the remains of a much earlier maze were discovered when Troy Town waas dismantled and dug up during the 1980s.
