Higher Spargo

Standing Stone / Menhir

hamish Aug 24, 2003

I was on my way to Mabe Church when I spotted this through a field gate. A sad sight that must have happened all over Cornwall. The chain was rusted and there was no indication of drag marks so this must have happened a long time ago but sad nontheless.
