This large granite slab, which now sits in a private garden in the village of Mayon just NE of Sennen village, has an intriguing legend attached to it.
In 'Mermaid to Merrymaid - Journey to the Stones', Ian McNeil Cooke tells us that Mayon's name probably came from this stone. It is known as 'Table Maen' or 'King Arthur's Stone', the latter title deriving from the story of how the king held a feast around it with nine kings to celebrate victory over the Danes who had landed at the nearby beach of Gwenver.
All around this area are churchpaths running through the fields, linking Sennen area with St Buryan, which Sennen was ecclesiastically dependent on.
There are several ancient wheel-headed crosses in the area, and standing stones and cairns.
