I first saw this site on Pastscape,but it had only given an approximate OS number.
The names of all the farms and buildings around are all called Tremeneer,Treminheere etc which means "the place of the standing stone"
As I live only 30mins walk from my front door I thought I'd take a look. At the place called Tremenheere (there's a higher and lower) I saw a big standing stone about 9 feet+.
I went back the next day with my camera and the farmer was there. He told me that when he was young the stone had stood where it is now,it had then been pulled down and buried. The plough kept hitting it so it was moved to the hedge.
The fella said he had always had an urge/feeling to put it back,he had always remembered since being young where it had stood.
A few years ago when he had the equipment and people he put it back up.
Its a classic Cornwall standing stone,I realised this as soon as I first saw it.
Its well worth a visit if your around this way.
