Condition:4
Ambience:4
Access:3
An 8'6" menhir to the north-east of Boscawen-un stone circle. It may have been originally paired with another menhir now built lengthwise into a hedge close by. Access is from the track signposted Boscawen-Noon Farm leading south from the A30 between the villages of Catchall and Crows-an-wra. After two sharp bends in the track (the first right, the second left) go through two field gates to enter the second field from the track: the stone is in the corner of the field to your left.
