A fine site overlooking Trewern Round - I would suggest that it originally featured a double row of menhirs oriented just south of Lanyon Quoit which is clearly visible - the menhirs lie in a row going up the hill - some lie next to their packing-stones - most are of the six foot size but at least one is considerably larger.
