It is on the parish boundery of Tintagel. It is claimed to be the capstone of a Dolmen, the supporting uprights having been removed for gate posts. Strange to think that this was erected about the same time Abraham was setting out for the promised land.
The plaque says the stone is alleged to have been thrown there from Tintagel by King Arthur.
