Trevowhan Standing Stone
Trevowhan Standing Stone submitted by Bladup : Trevowhan Standing Stone, It's still here, has a known stonehole, but just needs putting back up, it's been down since 1982 (Vote or comment on this photo)
A fallen Standing Stone, its site is still marked on OS maps and clearly visible on site. The stone itself lays a few yards west in the corner of the field.

It was standing until 1982, its description was that the stone is 1.7m high and almost square in section - the base measures 0.7m by 0.8m - tapering near the top. There was plans for a re-erection but it never happened, maybe one day.

Trevowhan Standing Stone submitted by Bladup : Trevowhan Standing Stone. The Stone lies forlornly in the corner of the field. It was standing until 1982 and needs to again. A re-erection is certainly in order here.
