Carfury Standing Stone

Carfury Standing Stone is a standing stone in Penwith, Cornwall, about 4 km northwest of Penzance [1]. Also called Cuckoo Rock, the stone stands around 3m tall and is 0.7m wide by 0.4m thick [1]. The site was excavated between 31 December 1957 and 3 January 1958 by Peter Pool and Vivien Russell which found the stone had been erected in an elliptical pit and wedged in place using small stones [1]. Little else was found but Russell did note a potential sister stone downhill which "would make a monument very similar to the Cuckoo Rock" [1].
