Standing Stone in Cornwall

Access is via a private (unmade) road, then a farm track opposite Sennen Church (note the old cross in the churchyard). This gets you to within 100 yards or so, but the stone is best viewed from the far side of the hedge. This entails trespassing round the back of a barn to get to the far side of the hedge. The stone is built into, but rises above the level of the hedge.

Mind the foxes - I startled one when there last year!

Sennen Hedge
Sennen Hedge submitted by lucasn : As well as the main standing stone, there are also a number of other stones built in to the hedge which look like they may have been broken off larger stones. Could Sennen Hedge have possibly been part of a larger site such as a stone circle? Who knows. But it has been suggested that the stone right next to the main menhir may have come from the top of the main menhir.
