This Menhir or prehistoric Longstone, which was originally about 16 feet high, was known as Men Gurta. It is now called St Breock Longstone. Weighing about 16.5 tons it is still the heaviest standing stone in Cornwall. For many centuries it has been recognised as a significant meeting place for the Cornish People.
