Kerris
Kerris submitted by Bladup : Kerris Standing Stone (Vote or comment on this photo)
An often forgotten large standing stone in the middle of a field close to Kerris Roundago. It is an unusual shape for this part of Cornwall. The stone is a slab shape and is almost as wide as it is high.

Artifacts have been found in the field nearby the stone - flint tools, a stone axe and collections of regular shaped pebbles (these may have been used to heat pots of food or as sling shot stones to defend the nearby roundago (defensive enclosure).
