From the Wikipedia article
Carn Kenidjack (grid reference SW388329) is a hill in Tregeseal, Cornwall, UK. It is covered in megaliths including Tregeseal East stone circle. A tale is told that two miners returning home one night witnessed a wrestling match near Carn Kenidjack, which was presided over by the Devil. When one of the demon wrestlers was wounded, they whispered a prayer in his ear, and the entire spectacle disappeared.
