Standing stone in the churchyard of the parish church of Mabe is a prehistoric monument located approximately ten metres south-west of the church building in Cornwall. The stone dates to the Bronze Age or earlier prehistoric period, representing a significant example of the standing stones that characterise the Cornish landscape from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The monument survives as an upright stone within the churchyard setting, demonstrating how prehistoric ritual monuments were frequently incorporated into later Christian ecclesiastical sites. The stone's survival within the parish churchyard reflects the long continuity of sacred space at this location, where pre-Christian and Christian traditions have coexisted for over two millennia.
