Trevorgans Menhir

Just outside St Buryan along the road northwestwards to Crows-an-Wra, Trevorgans Menhir is a two and a half metre tall leaning menhir which can be found standing in a field to the west of the road.

There was room for parking at one of the gateways, and as the field was just grass I could enter and have a proper look.
