St Breock Downs Monolith

St Breock Downs Monolith is the largest and heaviest prehistoric standing stone in Cornwall, weighing approximately 16.5 tons. Dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500-1500 BC), this impressive monolith towers majestically in the hills of St Breock Downs.

Made of local Devonian slate with distinctive veins of feldspar, the stone offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's prehistoric past. It was originally 16 feet high, but toppled over in 1945 and was re-erected in 1956.

The mysterious site offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the Atlantic Ocean.
