A closer look from the field walls to the south and it is seen there are several other stones laying about near it, and makes me wonder whether this was once a dolmen which has now fallen?
From Cornwall & Scilly HER, site 3061. "A doubtful menhir stands in the middle of a modern pasture field on a gentle north facing slope. This stone was seen from a distance in 1985 (h1) and was thought to be too irregular shaped and bulky to be a menhir. The stone was visited by David Conway in 1995 who describes a large boulder at this position which appears to have been split vertically with the detached pieces lying on the ground close by."
