This is in a field by the road leading from St Eval to the Padstow road. The farmer has covered the gate with barbed wire so I assumed he didn't want me to go in his field. I took the pic from the gate. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

I came here on a very cold February afternoon, the stone looks very striking and is covered in Quartz bands. The field has young winter wheat in it and the gate is barbed wired so I did not attempt to get nearer to get a close pic. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
