I have looked through my Cornish Menhirs Top Trumps (TM) pack and the highest stone is the Northern Piper at Boliegh, comes in at 16.5 ft..next is the southern stone at 13.5 ft. However Men Gurta is also 13.5 and would possibly win on the fact that it is a much broarder stone. Other giants that would be useful to have in your hand would be the Blind Fiddler 11.5 ft and Music Water 11.8 ft. Two that i am not familiar with are Tresvennack 11.5 and Pridden 11.5.....Dry Tree and Beersheba are both 10.5 ft high whilst Buller is a waste of time at only 9.8 ft..

....now, how about most difficult to find...my deal, Carfury
