Carn Galver 2
Carn Galver 2 submitted by DavidShepherd : The prop is the stone at the right hand end. Looking east. Points-of-contact were not directly with bedrock but with rocks on the bedrock, or possibly a degraded surface layer. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Propped stone in Cornwall

One prop and two points-of-contact.
At the immediate foot of the clitter from the tor, this feature ‘faced’ west, perhaps toward the White Downs settlement area. Points-of-contact were not directly with bedrock but with rocks on the bedrock, or possibly a degraded surface layer.
