Trink Hill is a 212-meter-high hill between the hamlets of Trink and Cripplesease near Nancledra, Cornwall, England. A Bronze Age round barrow sits at its summit, while on the western slope stands the Giew Mine menhir (or Trink Hill menhir), a 2-meter-tall standing stone near a spring. The stone sits on a westward alignment from the summit barrow with direct sightlines to Trencrom Hill Fort and St. Michael's Mount. Twelve O'Clock Rock, a granite outcrop on the hill, is reputed to be a logan stone that can only be rocked at midnight.
