There's another stone just a couple of metres away in the same wall, together they may have been the entrance stones to a round [settlement] just like others in this part of Cornwall. Behind the biggest stone the thick wall curves away and still makes a quarter of a circle.
Mentioned in Ian McNeil Cooke's 'Standing Stones of the Land's End'.
