East Moor menhir
East Moor menhir submitted by TheCaptain : This large prostrate menhir is 2.5 to 3 metres in length, of quite slender section. Viewed here looking south. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A few hundred metres to the west of the hill in middle East Moor with the row and cairns, a fallen standing stone is listed in the RCHM Bodmin Moor survey, so I went to look.

Heading west, down towards the saddle of the land between this cairn topped hill and the next, and this large prostrate stone can be found. It is 2.5 to 3 metres in length, of quite slender section, and curves nicely from top to bottom.
