Standing stone 815m west of St Breock Downs Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ritual monument located on the Cornish uplands near St Breock. The stone stands as a single upright monolith, a form of monument commonly erected during the later prehistoric period across southwest Britain as territorial markers, ritual sites, or components of broader ceremonial landscapes. The precise chronology of the stone remains uncertain, as is typical for undated standing stones lacking excavation, though its morphology and landscape context suggest placement somewhere within the later Neolithic or Bronze Age periods. The monument survives as evidence of prehistoric community activity and territorial organisation on the Cornish plateau, contributing to the archaeological record of ritual practice in this region.
