A kilometre or so to the northeast of St Buryan, along the Penzance Road, are a few stones standing in the fields. There is plenty of room to park near to the trackway to Trelew farm, and the Trelew menhir can be found just along this track and in the field on the left.

The menhir is a nice 3 metre tall piece of granite standing in a field near farm track. It looks different from every angle and appears to have been erected somewhat curiously on its narrowest end. From certain angles it looks very top-heavy, while from other angles is nice and slimline.

A video taken from the farm track to Trelew farm. The stone overlooks St Buryan and is close to two other Menhirs: Tolvadas and Pridden.
