The stone is down on its side and the Cornish stone hedge was built along it. It is about 9 feet tall and follows an alignment which passes via St. Eval Longstone, The Magi Stone and then to Breock Downs and Men Gurta. It is made of the same quartz rock as these which is local to the area. We reported it to the County Archaeologists and it has been seen by them. It is a similar size to what the Magi Stone would have been before it was broken up.
