The farmer at Tregune Farm says he put the stone up himself in the last 20yrs. He calls it the 'Bull Stone' cause it's a good place to hide if you're being chased by one.
There are hut circles nearby and a medieval settlement.

Tregune Menhir No2 (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes

I can not find any reference to this stone, and it is definately not the Tregune Menhir which stands in the middle of a field nearby. This one stands beside the road leading from Tregrenna to Tregune. It is about 5 ft high and has three sides. There are no signs of it being shaped by man and no holes where it may have been used as a gate post. The fact that it stands beside a track that leads onto open moor and important sites like the East Moor stone row makes me think it is not just another rubbing post. Mr Hamhead Posted by Mr Hamhead
