Valley Menhirs

This is in connection with the menhir I think I've rediscovered down here in Kernow, which is sited in a shallow valley amongst upland pasture. Someone who I've shown a pic of this 'menhir-in-waiting' to says it sure looks like the real deal, but that the siting is slightly unusual.

Can anyone quote me any other surviving or documented examples of a menhir in such a situation?

Not in the bottom of the valley..but not exactly at the top either...and a bugger to see from anywhere.
