TheCaptain visited on 18th Jun 2022 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 In about what should be the middle of the stone row, past the cows and further on I find a sort of stone setting, which I think is what I have called Trehudreth Downs B stone setting. There is a sort of standing stone stump, with a few other bits arranged in a square around it, and is certainly not natural. Once home, looking in my Bodmin Moor survey, and I find it is included as a stone setting in there.

Standing stone or stone setting on Trehudreth Downs just to the north of the A30 in the middle of Bodmin Moor. This stone stands south of the stone row, north east of the stone setting and menhir 1.
